Ran at 12:30 and 1:44pm....prep was good since it was T&T for SuperChevy.

Ran a 9.4 at 143 and a 9.3 at 144...

Picked my 60 up to a 1.37 on the radials....first time both wheels came up :hail:

DA was around 4000ft

Congrats Tom, thats haulin at Bristol.

Place looks pretty empty for a Super Chevy.

That is awesome!! Congrat's. :cool:

Your car is moving!!!!

Nice runs. From the camera angle, looked straight. 1.37 60' not bad, not bad at all on DR :cheers:

David

f'n awesome TOM!!!! Congrats dude....nice to see all that work pay off. Gimme your 60'!!!!!!!!

Damn that's awesome! What kind of DA do you expect to be seeing in the fall at your track?

Congrats Tom, you are flying!

Awesome runs. Are you shooting for 8's?

Thats awsome man.


Congrats

Thanks folks...it's finally starting to come together...took a while (as Kevin predicted) to figure out the new combination. When I took off the 9.9@141 Incon kit last winter I replaced EVERYTHING except the intercooler. Speed Inc Street kit, Rossler T400, Chance Converter, 9 inch rear with 3.00 gear, SD tune,etc,etc.....took a while to get the bigger turbos/looser converter to hit the radials hard enough to hook them...shocks/2step/airpressure/etc plus some track prep....drag radials need a hard sustained hit....

My goal was 9.8 in the heat at Bristol....the Incon kit was a 10.1-10.2 combo in the heat...9.9 was a 70 degree day.....so a 9.3 in 80 degrees....I'm done.

Track closes Oct 6 to hang Christmas lights.....so 4000ft is about it.......

PSJ knows the effects of Bristol DA Jim....he came down one day a few years ago...

:drool: :drool:

thats amazing at Bristol haha.....we need to meet up one day at the track as I've seen that car go down the track plenty of times but have never had the chance to meet you...I'd Love to check out that setup :headbang:

Congrats man!!

Big enough turbos will make up for some of the DA but not the uphill part :)

You are done because you have the quickest LS at Bristol but I'll be back there next year :D

Congrats again, I'm glad you stuck with it. One of the quickest what I would call real street cars around thats for sure.

Gotta love randomly rolling back at the staging lanes :bang: takes awhile to get used to that haha

Great runs, but man tell us more about this uphill track:eek2:

Bristol is on a 1% uphill grade. They did it to help slow down the top fuel cars. Doesnt sound like a lot but its a tough track on mph, went from running 146 at Commerce GA (which is be no means a generous mph track, Tom ran there as well) and went a blazing 143 at Bristol in similar DA.

Its not the track to go to for internet timeslip racin thats for sure.

Damn, sounds tough. Nice to have the seat time though.

sweet :cool:

Kevin, you're more inspiration than competition.......You're THE GUY that convinced me to start turning wrenches/tuning again and stay away from shops....best advice ever. :secret:

Since you're clicking 150's...all I can say is :hail:

WOW Tom that is hauling ass I was pumped up while watching the video great runs for sure!!!! Congrats.
