only a tenth away from my goal :) Took advantage of some cool weather today (50 degrees) and hit the local 1/8 mile track. Ran a 7.09 @ 98 with a 1.605 60' with the cutout open, 7.11 @ 97..7 (1.611) with the cutout closed (gotta love them dual/duals 
). I cant wait to get this down a 1/4 mile track but I had trailer problems this weekend and didnt want to drive the car 400 miles with no o/d 
3550lb raceweight, 440rwhp (converter unlocked), 7.5psi @ 6500rpm, 100% stock motor except for 918 springs and FLP headers. A/f was 11.2 to 11.0 through the passes so it has a little more in it but its safe, next time I'll lean it out with some 100 unleaded and see what happens
I would lke to hit 6.99 in the 1/8 and 10.99 in the 1/4 - its getting there, I really need to get the stall raised a bit. I know its nothing compared to the big HP guys out there but I want to bracket race this thing all year on the stock motor In ten passes today it ran within .04 so thats not bad for a blower car. Even got the wheels up every pass, sorry for the bad quality pic but my scanner is dead and I just took a pic of the pic..

Was the track not hooking or do you need more converter?

Probably easier to just lean it out a little on better gas and pick up 10rwhp or so but this poor motor has 270 head/cam/M6 leaving at 6000rpm passes from last year and a lot this year with the blower so I dont want it to go

I have to screw the rims anyhow, the tires are moving about an inch now on every pass, so I may as well switch to ET drags I guess. I'd like to try more stall but I really should get some weight out of it - that would help the 60's more then anything probably. I just hate to overstall it and lose MPH plus make it drive looser then it already does. I just think the car should be ETing a little better for an automatic trans 98mph 1/8 and this track is not very generous with the MPH..
