Thanks

LOL..

2.07 60ft.. you were spinning PERIOD. IMO, that's what affected your 60ft time

before the over axle on the intermediate pipe, just behind the passsenger seat. there's an indentation there where you can tuck it up there. If you're running electric there's also a drain plug above it. this same thread is 15 or 16 posts above this one for further reference.

sorry thread got derailed.

guess you were there huh? after about 5 runs of nothing but 2.0x 60fts one night, i closed it and the 60fts went right back to 1.9x. i think i now how to launch. only been doing this for 10+ years. just because i'm new here, doesn't mean i new to drag racing. here's my last car, a 1986 TA that pulled 1.7x 60ft on 225/60-15 regular tires on the 150 shot at the track. http://www.fl-thirdgen.org/mrr23

having the stock converter helps to keep the spin down. and hit the button at 2200 rpms at hte track with no spin. but that'll change real soon. yank py3400e going in hopefully this week.

but hey, i'm just the exception to every rule
