Thanks guys. Second Street Speed in Perkasie PA will be doing the tuning (they built George Baxter's 9-second 97 SS convertible) this Friday. Looking to get back to the track this weekend, weather pending.

You need to follow standard NHRA guidelines. Every track has to abide by these rules. Take a look at the NHRA rule-book and it'll tell you everything you need to know.

That car has easy 10's in it. Just have some fun tweaking it, you'll get there. 3.90's are pushing it for a ~120mph trap unless you are running some bigger rear tires. My car is running a 25.7" tall tire and a loose converter and it is all done at 114-115mph, it just won't go any faster. I'd bet you will have the same problem.
What tires are you running?
Not bad for shakedown runs, keep workin on it you will be suprised.
My first outing was an 11.20@121. I kept picking at it, workin on it and got what I wanted.

I can attest that the car all but rips your head off when you jump on it. Some little bugs to work out, but that's the fun part.
I think I heard the converter lock up on the first pass (in person, not shown here) as the engine changed pitch at about the 1000' mark. I think that lockup switch is a must, Pants.
Take dyno vids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
