Default A couple of new bests-finally!!

I knew the car had a little more in it, but do to some set-backs it took a few trips to the track this year to sort things out. Made a couple of NA passes for a baseline, and then used the nitrous. First pass was a 10.93 at 122.88mph with a 1.49 60ft. Second pass lowered the on point from 3800rpm to 3600rpm and ran a 10.89 at 123.73mph with a 1.47 60ft.
Thanks go out to Larry at Speed, and Ion for helping fine tune a few things in the computer. Also got to see Larrys new 396ci in action, and was very impressed. I'll let him tell the details though. Here's to you Larry.

Edit: Forgot to mention, the new times are with the added 65lbs of weight, from the Wolfe 6 point.

Thanks, I was shocked with the new 60ft times. It has a few suspension parts, but sits on lowering springs, and stock 15 year old shocks.

Ya know, I saw your car and didn't put two and two together. Sorry about that, but as I'm sitting here I'm looking at the clock and I've been up 23 hrs.
Nice job on your new best. Good mph, just get that 60ft. down.

nice times. just a little bit of money into suspension could cut the 60 footer down. that would get you in deeper into the 10's.

Actually, I'm thinking about some weight reduction. A little less strain on the poor stock trans and and this weak *** 10 bolt would probably go a long way, or not.

Next year. Putting some timing back in it probably puts it at a 125 to 135rwhp shot now. Take some weight out and up the shot another 20 to 30rwhp should be interesting, and or deadly. We'll see!!!

11.20s on motor. Nice. Good looking car by the way. Couldn't not notice the stance and the killer hood.

Thanks, I didn't get a chance to spray the car cause the trans started acting up and I didn't feel like walking home.

Thanks, I feel like if I could cut a 1.4 sixty I could see a ten second pass on motor.
