Listening to the vid it sounded like you were really short shifting it..........

Put a TH400 in it w/a brake and then you should have a solid 9sec ride.....

What about a dash mounted tach with integrated shift light. At least you would be able to look at it

Have you posted up the timeslip anywhere?

I'd love to see the 330, 1/8ET, 1/8mph, and 1000ftET. With the poor 60ft, those will tell you more than anything about the potential.

I don't see a timeslip showing a lot since MM doesnt even know where he was shifting.

There's only one shift from the 1/8 to the 1/4. So looking at the mph gain between the two shows plenty.

How? Sounds like he was shifting at 4 or 5 grand..... ASSuming he gained 30mph....what does that tell you? Until he gets a shiftlight and tries to make a solid pass, we can't praise or bust on him. We can compare when he makes a comparable pass. I guess for now, all we can really do is say "glad you got to go to the track".
MM do you have a 2 step to use later on?

Awesome Dave! First off I am going to shoot Rob for even suggesting an Auto! Secondly, can we race before you get your tach, tires, tranny, and get used to the setup?

hehhee, Glad to see she's running. Be sure to keep her together for the FI meet in mid June. We got some badass Vipers and Vettes talkin a bunch of trash and a track to school them on

Mike

p.s. SS00Blue is a douche, that is all

That's what I was thinking until I watched his video. It looks like he leaves the line a lot harder than I did on my 2.10 60ft. If you watch his video then mine, you'll see what I mean.

129 trap calculates to roughly 630hp which interestingly enough is what it dynoed
