Default TNT is tha ****

first a rundown of the car...its a 98z with a boltons and a cam...weather was terrible tonight probably high 80's with plenty of humidity...previous best in the cold weather was a 11.64 at 114...i added a new tsp lid and ditched the steel driveshaft for an aluminum one...overall pretty happy with the results on motor...ran 5 motor passes ranging from 11.81-11.83...mph were all 114. we started of the spray passes with a 75 shot and it turned out like this...

60ft 1.639
1/8et 7.150
1/8mph 96.77
1/4et 11.19
1/4mph 122.05

car seemed to shutter on the take off so the 60ft was just about the same as a motor pass...all the motor 60fts were 1.66-1.68's

next spray pass went like this

60ft 1.590
1/8et 7.10
1/8mph 96.53
1/4et 11.15
1/4mph 121.75

the stutter was gone on that pass but the tires spun pretty bad... decided i wasnt gonna get 10's with the 75 shot so we went back to the pit and changed out to the 100 shot...


60ft 1.62
1/8 et 7.02
1/8mph 98.71
1/4et 10.97
1/4mph 125.00

i just knew i didnt get 10's on that run because the tires spun so badly but i barely made it...now its time for my new heads that came in friday and a 150 shot gimme some cold weather and some traction and here i come low 10's

Very nice, Joey. Especially in this crappy hot weather. That's some big mph, too. I'll say a few prayers for your pistons & rods :p
