Awesome, can't wait to see that 7!

I also would like to see you get well soon Chris so you can get back at that Z28 as well. Which I am sure you'll be back at it soon giving Larry and Bob hell! If there is anything we can do for you, let us know.

calculator says 8.08 range but radial cars back half is typically better. my guess would be a low 7.9x high 7.8x.

With the intervals it ran probably would run somewhere around 7.80 so we figured. The car really accelerates wicked the last 100 feet also so it will really stroll out the back door. I will need to put the 3.70'chunk back in to run 1/4 mile because it is set for 1/8 th mile right now.

Man that is moving, I only managed a 6.0 @112 on the 1/8. The back half is going to be even better.

Stefan,

Go to the LTX instead of the YB Nats. I know for a fact you, Ty Tech, and your car would be more appreciated there.
