Talking going to the track again

DA should be -1000 or more for the day

plan to test a few thing more on motor and then spray the car and hope the track holds

You dog you. Damn I wish I didn't have to pull a 12 hr. shift today. Gotta work though, so you can tweak my set-up some more.
Can't wait for your results Larry, good luck!! Hopefully you'll get some video.

good day, but no 9 sec pass due to being lean and no other T's for the dry kit

anyway it did run great on motor though the track was not there like my home track Byron was a few weeks back

I was unable to leave as hard as my first visit which I was leaving at 2500 off the foot brake. The most I did today was 2000 and was getting some slight tire shake due to cold track temps and the bite just wasn't there. I still matched my best 60 from before of 1.45 even with the small tire shake and still pulling the wheels

best pass of the day

10.89 @ 123 and this was with a 1.46 60ft

1.46
4.40
6.90
98.44
9.06
10.89
123.33

DA was good, but nothing crazy as I expected -610

I guess it's spring time to test the N20 now and plan for some changes for the NA class.

I also took some data for Yank to work with since my converter is on the loose side. The RPM would drop about 1000 rpm between shifts which leaves me some room for improvement as well.

oh yeh... drove it there and back without a problem though it was a little cold with no heat.

How are you logging Larry, do you have a wideband in your car? I have the next size up T laying around somewhere if you need it from my old setup, but you probably have one back at the shop. Let me know and I can look up the exact size, although sounds like you are done until spring anyway.
