7 tries at a 5 second 1/8 mile, didnt make it :( Tried everything for seven passes tonight to get in the 5s in the 1/8, first pass off the trailer was a 6.08 @ 115, last two passes were 6.08 @ 115 lol. Granted the DA was 2000' or so and I was only seeing like 13.5psi max (track is 1600' elevation, crossville TN) but man what a pisser trying to get just .09 at the dragstrip can be sometimes 
Guess its time for the 3.4 pulley or wait for fall

congrats !i wish i was there to see your beast in action but instead i was out getting tanked.i have a question about your shortblock=is it a regular forged one or was it the one built for boost.i am thinking about the procharger route myself but mine is a regular speed inc forged shortblock and i don't know if i'll be able to get the 600 rw i would like to have.

John, no there isnt, 200 miles is closest, BG is 240, Bristol is 120 miles but doesnt run till summer and its mufflers/DOT tires (AKA import mostly) only and they dont prep the track at all - not to mention it rus uphill and is 2000' elevation. Its pretty much 1/8 mile or nothing around here. Even if you run the 'real' bracket races at BG, Bristol and steele they run 1/8 mile. Test and tune is all they run 1/4 mile around here usually..
Jer, I was pretty sick last week and didnt feel like changing the pulley, I think it would be cooler to run it on the 3.7, gives me something to do

I didnt say I wouldnt race it anymore, just said I wasnt really going to try to make it any faster until fall

I never ran 1/8 mile in my life till I moved down here a few years ago and I have been drag racing for 25 years. Most of the 1/8 mile tracks around here used to be 1/4 mile tracks before the cars were going as fast as they are now. I'm well into high gear in the 1/8 anyhow so 1/4 mile is just looking out the window really with this car so it doesnt matter much. I never thought I would race on a 1/8 mile track but around here you have little choice, its not all that bad really
