Had a decent day of testing.

Had some early rocker arm issues that kept us from making a bunch of passes.

I'll let tom fill in the details...

But only made two full passes and the times were the following


8.51 @ 181.7 1.49 60' 141 to the eigth if remember right..

last pass of the day after we waited an hour for an oil down...

8.11 @ 183.7 1.54 60' 145 to the eight started moving around a bit so tom lifted 'slightly'

This New LSX block is bad ***!! Managed to Push absolutely no water. When We were running this fast last year... it would push about 10-16oz or so.

It's a little tough to come up on boost, but were already getting that better with the tune each pass.

Harlan or Tom will post up some vids as soon as there back with the truck and trailer.

Fun day... Fun day!!
