I'm just kidding of course. I'm more convinced than ever that these cars can go deep in the 11's with just boltons and weight reduction. My tranny/TC combo is far from ideal and my posi is all but gone. I was doing "peg leg" burnouts and it's real obvious since the car has rubber pieces only on one side. The DA was close to zero on my best run. It went way into the negative but I couldn't make a run then.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...81#post2682281

It never dawned on me before, but you and Shon live in SC? What track do you run at? I live in NE Georgia about 40 minutes from Atlanta Dragway. Maybe I can swing up your direction next season

Commerce sux, unless you go on their Saturday program.
I never have liked SDR but we always went on GAFBA track days and later found out that the track crew was told not to prep the track so people would not break stuff. after I heard that I never went back, that is BS, I go race to make new ETs, no way to do that with no track prep.
Then I "found" Carolina and that track is AWESOME!!! Russ likes SDR on their TNT nights b/c they prep it so if they are prepping it I dont have a problem with that track...plus the MPH seems to be a little bit better down there.
We'll know more tomorrow....

Even on Saturdays, the track prep is **** poor at Commerce. I have stacks of timeslips with Shitty 60's to prove that. I may need to check out that track in Jackson next season

Good luck Shon. It looks like I'm done. It's been raining all day. 
BTW I know what you mean about track prep or lack thereof. VHT was invented out here. You'd think they would use it!!

Well, the air must have been crappy. first 3 runs off the trailer it would only run 11.91 but did pull new 60's and some WILD MPH. 1.57 and 1.56 it pulled and one slip shows 115+, but it did not back that up.
I think the stock clutch has just about had enough. We did put a 'glass hood on it and lose 10#s and put some ET Drags and lost 8#s total over my tubed ET Streets. And those Drags 26x10 vs streets of 26x11.5 were .5" shorter than the Streets so we gained 'gear' and RPM on the top side.
Be out of town till TH so talk to you all later.
