Sounds the nice. From Atlanta would you take 75 or 85? I am wondering if meeting up in Spartanburg or someplace similar might be workable....

Crazy few weeks there. Short version: 17 out of town family members in town and out of town for the wedding. One daughter married, two houses packed, moved, and unpacked. Two apartments packed, moved, and unpacked. One major car repair (LS10). One 10.18 second pass at 134 mph and one toss from track.

Making some power!!! That is badass. What would you guess your car weighs? How fast were you able to go with the LS1?

If I can get my car off the line clean I expect to be tickling if not faster than 140 mph with my build. 2800 pounds no driver. Going to be a one and done kinda deal for me too.

Thanks, man. raceweight is 3460, my 190 pound *** in it, 3/4 tank of gas. I use the gas tank for ballast, LOL. I actually think the car has a lot more in it. I have 4.30's and 26" tires, so I was about out of RPM, I was getting some sway on the back half, so I need a ARB. Really I need a cage, but I like the stock interior. With my power, I think my 60' still needs work, too. But unless I cage it, I'll never get the chance.

**** dude that's a 9.9x second pass already at a more reasonable DA. 2-3 more mph easy if you had the gear. Sounds like you may need 4.10's now.

Take it to one of those record breaker tracks on the coast and you'd be deep 9's at high 130's...

Nice!

Run a 28" tire on it. It'll help with the 60 and running out of gear.
