I couldnt get these test videos to load due to being to long. I need to edit them.
I hope to get new video very soon.
Thank God for living in Indy. Our local track, Indianapolis Raceway Park is a killer track for sure. Even our tnt night is fully prepped and hooks very good. I hope the weather holds out this weekend.

Well This Saturdays race got canceled due to a div 3 race that got rained out the week before. They need the track this weekend.
I got the chassis cert today. And cleaned the car up this evening and put a few miles on it. It felt good to go. I got a month left of my belts so I took the pass belt out and mailed it in to Racers Choice Inc to get recert.
I would like to get this parachute mount put on and buy all the **** needed for that. I plan to push the car to the 8.50 et cert that it has at this years LS Fest and shootout.
The future mods include front Strange brakes and put my motor on a plate. Maybe next winter lol.
My motor is fresh and ready for some "live action"!

Dave here is a few video's. The night video was testing last year after putting motor together. The track was perfect and great October air.
The day video is from last Friday at Muncie dragway. The track was very slick and it would not cut a 60' for nothing. I was turning the nitrous on 2-4 sec off the line cause it was slick.

If you can't tell, my shifter noid is not pulling third gear. It looks like it's low on voltage and can not pull it back.
I think I need to take the power from the relay and hook it to straight to the battery.

dammit i miss that car man lol so close to getting into those 8's! really anywhere when it comes to a chute and handle. jegs or summit works. just waiting to get my new springs installed and gonna try for those 8's again myself. money's been tight so i haven't had a chance to get the car out yet but i did get a water/meth kit and just installed it last weekend so i'm hoping for 1000rwhp now 
really hoping i haven't ruined the drag radials with all the street driving i've been doing with them. if so i may try to find a used set of cheap rims and pick up some slicks and see what happens. the track is gonna be the other issue. it's always so hit & miss with the prep but with only a 6pt, it's the only track i know of within a 2 hr drive or more that will let it slide.
keep up the great work man and good luck on them 8's!!!!!

I'm a jet change away for 8's. I am going next week to test on a .075 jet. It should be in the 8.80's I think.
Lets meet up this fall at NLR. I wanna go to a street car caios. It looks like fun.
We could line up!

I WAS! tested the chute a few times to get a good feel for it today and now the f*cking car is running lean and i have no clue why that is. been brain storming with a few friends and nothing seems to pan out yet. it gets better with more throttle but still in the 13's. so i'll be dicking with that first thing and hoping for the best.

Looks great JR, but it "sounds" like you are leaving HP on the table with that gearing. It sounds like you are hitting your limiter before the line... Is that correct?
