It's a guy in Springfield, I think that name sounds right.

Pulled my rx7 back apart Friday night, got the ltd driving today with a powerglide, just have it on street tires and turned down, but so far I'm liking the glide, even in the heavy car and 2.73 gears!

I see you finally got a 9 out of it! This car never seems to stop amazing me.

I think I'm going to find the local classifieds and find me an old LTD or fairmont.

Didn't take much, just hadn't been back to the track sense this time last year. Should be able to pick up more mph and lower et if we get it back to the track on tire.

Here is the slip..

https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...-jy-5-3-a.html

Car isn't turned up to the power the rx7 was on this pass, we still have a lot in it, I think 150 plus mph is doable along with low 9's and 1.4x 60fts. This is the only time I'll run on the 235's, just wanted that 9 second pass on them and thru the exhaust, next time it will be on slicks and not thru the mufflers. We don't have a local track anymore so have to travel to get passes, I'll be in Wichita on May 5th running the car on true street tires(not drag radials), if after the event I can get some passes in on slicks I'll see what it will do on a slick and the same power it's on now, then return later on to get some full all out passes.

Not Wes's car, he does lots of work for the guy that owns it and a couple vipers among other toys. I think it would have been a better race with his viper. But who knows

Update, switched to 5 lug and new wheels(billet specialties)...plus a few other mods...mudflaps and wheel chair. I'll hit the track next month with it on the 26x8.5's to see how fast it can go with an all out pass, sucks I have to travel 3hrs to go to the track since local track closed down.



Hubcaps going on over the nice wheels, plus will be getting some nice bumper stickers
