Time slip reads:
60' - 1.32
1/8 - 5.48
MPH- 132.39
1/4 - 8.474
MPH- 162.55

Tried turning it up some for the next pass and everything was quicker but the track went away on the top end and had to abort the run when the car got squirley. Steve has gotten used to this.

Still has stock 6.0 manifolds, stock LS6 intake, stock ported throttle body and a hydrolic cam. Race weight is near 3500 lbs.

Big thanks to Kurt at W2W for building us an awesome motor, Big Stuff 3 for the best management system period, and Midwest Converters for building us a sweet converter.

More to come next week.

LS6 intake, truck manifolds, and hydraulic cam is very impressive.

Nice work.
