Congrats Ray on that 8.3 pass!!!
Yeah, getting a few hundred pounds out of there will make it easier on everything parts wise and get you down the track quicker. Your power at 3400 lbs would be right around a 8.dot

Went to a track rental at Norwalk Sunday. It was cloudy but didn't rain, temp was nice and cool.
First hit off the trailer come off the brake with a big tune up and it came up nicely less than a foot and just kept carrying. I was past the 60' when it came down, trouble was it must have came into the power and bounced up a little higher. I remember it drifting a little towards the wall as it came down the 330' mark was right in front of me. The damn thing carried the wheels almost to the 330'.
I was REALLY happy when I saw the slip 8.30@166 with a 1.33 60' that was with the rear wheels. I cranked the front shocks the rest of the way tight. I was happy with the wheels staying low in the air but I need to get stiffer shocks to get the "bounce" out.
Next hit was the same tune up but left softer a very smooth and uneventful pass. 8.32@166 with a 1.31 60' felt slow LOL
Last pass was after sitting in the staging lanes for two hours waiting for them to cleanup after two oil downs. I put another 100 rpm on the two step and let it rip. Came up and carried a little less that the first pass. it bounced again but didn't carry near as far. It was drifting toward center when it came down and I was out of the groove, it spun and wiggled as I got back into the groove.
On the big end right at the lights I must have hit some oil, the rear end kicked out hard as I was reaching for the chute. I corrected hard as I dumped the laundry, just as the car got straight the chute hit ending my ride.
My heart was still pumping hard as I got my slip and saw the 8.29,,,,,, Mission accomplished!
