Thanks, the car will do better when not making passes on a unprepped track with worn out slicks.

Good runs. Get that weight down a little and good luck with it. Sounds like you have a beast on your hands

Great times in the heat. Check out some of the new M/T drag tires. My buddy got a set and the actual height was 29" and they hook great. Sticky as hell. I think they are supposed to be 11.5 wide.

I have T400 man. valve body, have to shift. 4L80E looks very interesting but might a lot heavier than the T400. I need to see some weights.

CONGRATS!!! Good to hear things are starting to come around for the car!!!

I'd also like to point out that only a TRUE car enthusiast would use a site dedicated to a child (aboutmybaby.com) to host pictures of his car!!!!!

Time to swap on new slicks, remove 50-60 lbs, and run on a prepped track.

We tightened it before the five passes, and then did not touch it.
