i got there around noon or so and ended up getting only 3 runs in about 5 hours, the track was hooking perfect. i bogged off the line and could only pull off a 12.64@112.7. i didnt know how high to launch it but yesterday there was no wheel spin.
Man I had a great time! My very first time ever running any car down the 1320. First run of the day pulled:
RT .504
60' 2.167
1/8 8.679 @ 84.49
1/4 13.179 @ 616.71!!! (timing equipment had some issues on the speed!)
I was happy for my first time down the strip. I got two more runs in that day, but my first was my best. It was great to meet a couple of people from here and put faces to names. Unfortunately on the way home I made it about 10 minutes from home and the car stalled getting off the highway, when I restarted it, the motor was knocking like a bastard. I am going to be pulling the pan tomorrow to see what went wrong, I am hoping its just a timing chain or part of the oil pump, as the car had only 10 psi of oil pressure after the restart when the banging happened. The entire 150 mile ride home when flawlessly until that happened. Oh well, you pay to play.

we had a really good day Saturday, even though it got hot.
I had 2 runs 11.66 and one 11.62 @ 116.2, on a 1.65 60". Still on 17" Nitto's.
Don tweaked my 1-2 shift a bit added some fuel up top and I had my cats out.
After that in the heat I was running those 11.66's on a 1.67ish 60".
Hopefully next month in the cool air, I can qualify for a cage

I almost dropped some $ on a set myself, I love how Prostars look on 4th gens. But I gotta start saving up for a wedding next year, so I'll probably have to limit the car moding to an intake in the spring and some new tires, thats it. Can't wait to see it on C/F day.
car runs real strong...just hooks and goes, sounds good to! Wedding huh? ut oh... im going to be doing the drive train thing this winter...rear/tranny/suspension and if theres any money left over ewp/fast 90! Congrats again
Mmmmm... Pro Stars - I want a set for C/F day myself. Was hoping to borrow someones, but more than likely everyone will be using them. I need a set to mock up the calipers for some grinding. Just wanted to beat one last time before she comes apart AGAIN this winter

Wonder how it would do with a better tire and stalling on launch?

Wonder how it would do with a better tire and stalling on launch?I pretty sure I set my pinion angle correctly, it's about -3.
Every launch was off idle, and I rolled into it.
I really would like to get a good stall like a PT4000. This little $400 converter is doing pretty respectable though.
