Default new personal best

my previous best with a 6spd, 4.10's and street tires was an 8.15@90mph run on out to a 12.43@114 on a 1.98 60'

i swapped in a 3.73 gear, th350, edge 3400 converter and a set of m/t drag radials, and got this:
7.53@91.5 ran out to an 11.82@115.8 on 1.67 60'

track prep was great, but the temps were in the mid-to-high 70's, and heat-soak was a little issue.

in cooler weather, I'm hoping to drop a tenth and maybe pickup a little mph.

thanks everyone.


I'm thinking the raceweight is somewhere around 3500lbs.

in the next couple weeks I'm going to remove the a/c and p/s. and see what i can get n/a.

then install a nitrous kit and jet it for a 150shot and see if I can hit the 10's with it.
