Ran a best of 12.9 @ 107mph today, I'm content for the season
I really need a torque converter or gears though, I ran the same 2.0 60ft with my bfg drag radials as I did with street tire's the last time!

How is it possible I missed just everyone, damn. I thought I saw NHRATA01 drive past once but it was one of those real quick things were I wasnt sure. I was parked on the grass next to the staging lanes but up by the gate to leave that area. I think I saw your car INTENESS is it a copper looking color? If so Please dont tell me thats where you all were haning out cause I was about 200' away and didnt even notice. I had a bad day at the track with traction issues all day, I was either wheel hopping or spining. Street tires will be gone for next time.
Yea, too bad I couldnt go. Damn jimmy your catching up now! TOld you, not to worry about HP #'s, where it matters is at the track. Of all the weekends in October to go, I went on the hottest and mustered a 13.0X but like the other said, there is next year. I have plenty to work on.

I used to have a dsm so I'm used to the whole domino effect of things breaking, but this car sure has been a lot more reliable so far (nock on wood), i'm just worried this is the calm before the storm, lol.
The only issue is when the 12 bolt comes into play your adding not just static weight but rotating weight, if you do no other mods but add it, you will slow down a lil but the main point of getting one is to allow the rear to survive when you start wacking the throttle and turning up that wick.
I wish I could have gone, my slicks are 99% dead and even though I had a offer to borrow nitto's or even Chef's 26" Bias-ply Slick'o DOOM, I think it would have been a bad situation and prob wouldnt improve. Plus the clutch it still working, why mess with a good thing.
If you cant afford the 12 bolt, start trolling the FS section, there was a rear with 3.73's for sale here, thats worth checking out

Well I'm hoping this rear will last me if I don't launch it anymore, and since the seasons over I don't plan to, but next season if I do get a better rear, I'll def. be getting a decent power upgrade, I've only stuck to a few good bolt on's that I've read about because I was scared of breaking the rear, go figure, lol. The rear and the tranny, I've heard great things about the mighty ls1 though so I wasn't too worried about the engine, lol.

Hey guys, there may be some pics of your cars here: http://photosbyjim.smugmug.com/gallery/3729290#P-1-15
I found a pic of my last run, I think this is still on it's way up, or on the way down, because I lost view of the track completely for a second....
