Default New best in the 1/8th!!
Well, I went with Gretchengotgrowl, and Nitroman28 to the local track for some shakedown 1/8 and 1000 ft passes.



My best was 7.09 1/8th at 97.83. I had one pass with a better 60' but the 1-2 shift point was too high and hammered the limiter. Once I got that dialed in, it flew. Could feel a little wheel spin, but hey, it was prepped good, just not a lot of rubber laid down to really stick it. I figure Ill see lower 1.5s in memphis.

Previous 1/8 was 7.35 at 97.xx.

No spray, just cam, bolt ons, stall, gears, and a had the pass and rear seats out.

I am hoping for a 10.999, that would rock. Also quite impressed with the MPH, shows the converter is coupling very well. Great work Ryan!!!

Nice job! Thats an 11.00-11.10 right there... 122-123 mph or so... A low 1.50 will put you in the 10.90s...

Well thought out combo there.. Killin ZL1s with a H/C L99....

Stock heads! Cam only! 28x10x17 Hoosier slicks

Thanks guys, there is some more in it, it shook the tires pretty good on every launch so I think on a great pass I could see low 1.5s.
