It had a slight wobble to it. We had to go get a trailer to take it home..Sucked. Next time we go out will be on a Wed night. MidnightMaddness is to crazy for me Hope to have my car up and running the week of Christmas. I got a few extra goodies for the new motor...

What a battle it was to get this car to run a number. FI is not for the weary!

Awhh it wasn't that hard for me the first time of course this time might be different LOL! I knew your car was going to run good numbers though, can't beat an auto for posting good consistent et's. Even with the heavy weight it wasn't going to hurt considering the power your car makes.

Congrats man!
There's just no way a Vortech car can be running so good!
hey i think my tr6's are gapped at .035 is that too much and will that prevent me from making power up top?
i think i'm running way too lean on w.o.t my plugs are white.

Sure thing. Our cars aren't setup for drag racing. We both like the twisties.
But its still fun to go and light the tires up for half the track and just to hang out.. I need to buy some drag radials or some MT ET streets one of these days just to see what both cars really will do if they hooked up.. My best time before with the stock bottom end was on my 19" street tires, 11.4 at 130mph and a 2.4 60ft.. 
. Didn't hook up till 1/2 track Alot of fun though.

My thread has turned into SPARK PLUG wars. I did not intend for this to happen. Just sharing info for others to try. I made 650 rwhp with tr6's and my buddie made 700 with them. I have nothing against these plugs. They are great.
