It's not heavy, just thinking a bandsaw would be the most accurate way to cut it. It's 1/16 stainless I believe. I have the pieces already rough cut out with a plasma, but they need some trimming before I can weld them in.
Didnt that dude have 2 or 3 stolen Birds that summer?

Best trap is 130. Depending on air at high boost 128-130. Remember thats at Cecil and MIR which are faster than Mason Dixon. I say Doug runs right with it. If he raced at Cecil he would gain at least 2 MPH.
I think his trap speed is unreal but if you talk to him and see how much is taken out in terms of rotational weight and recipicating weight you would see where oin a good day its possible. He doesn't lie or keep out mods when asked. A shame he won't cam it

I fugured I would update this thread since there were questions about my trap speed. Well your not gonna believe this. This is the first time I've been back to the track since last year. The car is a little lighter and has a little more powa......but not much of either. The real question seemed to be if it really went 130.......well the next question is did it really go 131.3 ???.....lmao I only made 3 passes today. The 1st pass I missed 4th, the 2nd just was'nt clean. The 3rd I put it together and it went a
Went back to make a 4th pass and busted another axle.

I went down last weekend and ran 131mph three passes in a row. A 10.95, 11.10 & another 11something with no better than a 1.75 60'. All in the right lane. My previous best was 129 so I'd say it's close.

Man... I'm missing all the good air... Wasted the 12 bolt ring & pinion at Capital a few weeks ago... I assume that Mason Dixon had good traction, to break the axle...
Great Passes !!! See you this spring !!!

My gains from last year is appropriate to the changes I made. I actually thought it might have dipped into the 10's with the 60' I had. Last year my 60' was a 1.78 to run a 11.17. I thought the new 1.70 would did better with no changes. Sometimes this stuff makes no sense.

11.17@130.09 was my best et and new best mph. Had several runs 130 and change. My first pass was a 11.30@130.xx and they give me a warning. So I did some 1/8 passes and then started makeing 1/4 passes....I ended up getting a lecture but they said they were letting me slide because this is the last weekend. Today was weird, my 1/8 mph was down but my 1/4 mph was way up. I did do some aero adjustments in the front, but nothing that should've made a 3.5 mph change.

Yhanks Black. Unfortunately the ls6 my never see it. At some point I need to put the ls7 in it. But it has been fun squeezing performance out of the 6.
Hey Man!!! I was wondering where you went. Sorry I did'nt get a chance to chat more. I was wanting to get it teched and get my ducks in a row. I missed your run and kept my eye out for ya....but no see.

You should get there with the power your making. We got my buddy's not even full bolt-on car to go 11.96 @ 116.2 sat. His car was the black and orange Z28. It made 340whp and almost 360wtq I think.
