Default 10.55 131.84 at epping today

well we changed the springs in the tranny, it short shifted at 5900 but atleast it shifted, Ill be getting the trans break and reverse manual body and electronic shifter this week I hope. Here are the #'s on the run,

My launch was from idle,

r/t .982
60ft 1.621
330 4.439
1/8 6.808
mph 104.09
1000 8.840
1/4 10.550
mph 131.84

I figure with getting the shift points to 6500 and launching in boost which would bring my 60ft into the low 1.4's the car might go in the 9's as is at only 18 psi.

since kentucky we installed wilwood front brakes, ATI race valve, and new trany springs for the governor. I still need a front mount so I can run the small pulley...

Scott great to hear that the car is coming around. The brake will make a huge difference. I can see a 10.20 as it is now with launching off the brake.

good luck

Larry

Way to go Scotty! You're hot on my tail. Looks like I need to get the direct port all hooked up to keep my place.

Way to go Bro!

thanks guys, Julio is shifted at 5900. The elevation was around 1400. I hope with the brake and some weight reduction we can get into the 9's before even turning the boost up.
