Default 6.24 @ 114

Went to the track today. 90+ outside, very hot. I ran a 6.24 @ 114. Not my best ET but it has my previous mph covered, that was a 6.11 @ 111 w/ 1.38 60'. The 114 shows me there is a lot left in the car. I didn't spray out of the hole and I didn't launch hard cause I didn't know if the converter was gonna hold, 1.56 60'. Also when need to put some pinion angle in the car and fix where the Torque Arm is hitting the floor board. This is causing a big problem and I'm only getting about 1" of suspension travel. This is good news since I still have another second stage of 300 Only spraying 200 with a very very conservative tune. The quest for 8's will happen soon for the LT1!

Damn Rob you finally get to make a 1/4 mile pass out there. Good luck. And I'm never moving to cali now after those horror stories you told me about the tracks out there!! I might try to hit the 1/4 tomorrow night and see if I can't bust out something good.

I run 12.9's @ 110
