Default Brent 1/4times

Got to give props to Brent. 1st run after the new setup and he runs 11.2 at 131mph with a 1.80 60' from the start

Now,I get my hands on it and never make a clean pass.Best run was
1.58 60'
6.7 at 105mph 1/8
10.34 at 139.67 1/4

Was launching the car at 6000rpm and spinning the 60'.I did get a 1.50 60' and missed second still did 10.6at ??
I have a feeling the tune was too rich which was dropping power,but atleast Brent drove it to the track,ran 10's and drove it home

Edit Brent's time.Had 10.8 on my mind but it was a 11.2 because he shifted 5th

It didnt surprise me the purevil needs a k member. You should have seen the vette launch at 1.5 with Don driving. Holy sht i thought it was going to break for sure but the rear held up well. Dons best run was going good until he missed 2nd gear. Haha. Me, I short shifted in 1st at 4k and hit the shift light in 2nd at 5500 and was spinning the wheels all the way up. Third gear mid range, I couldnt believe how fast the tack hit 5500. I think i was still slipping in third. All i really wanted to do on the 1st run was get down the track without hitting something. The joke was me shifting into 5th at the line because we have the shift light set at 5500 and I'm used to running to 65-68. Lost a lot of MPH and speed on that one. Of course i also had trouble getting into 5th. Stupid, funny but that why it takes seat time at least for me. I can get that car in the 9's next year and will. Weve got it get back to the dyno and do some diagnostics on it. We never got it back in after the shakedown runs last month. My schedule has sucked lately. Any body going down there this w/e be careful the left lane up top was really slippery. A fast studebaker went right at least 3 feet at 140.
Thanks Don for everthing, youre the best.

I grew up in Greenlawn. I moved up here to get to a decent track. Pretty much my set up is a 427C5R with a d1 procharger.

Awesome. I know what you mean, it sucks to trek 3 hours out to atco for something decent from here. My dad lives in whitinsville, MA and I've been up there the last few years for the summer nationals in worchester. Where's the track you go to up there?
