Default Damm so close!!!

Well we went to the track to get some passes in and as some know im on a fresh setup.Anyway we made some h/p passes and we were able to click off a 9.98 with my nos setup.We had some issues i was not comfortable about putting the wick to it so we desided to load it up and work out the bugs at home.We have a 200 shot on the D/P system to get her off the line,and when in second gear it will put a 175 plate system at it also..Yea i have a carb style intake. Thursday is going to be the day for the true test.

No i put timing at 28 motor is happy right there.Im running BS3 so timing gets yanked when one stage is on and when the second stage hits it will take out more timing.I can' wait for the bottle now.

Had some rear end problems, but hopefully they will be sorted out soon.. I cant wait to try the killer 2 stage DP Dave built me- no doubt in my mind that engine/N2O combo will go 8's..
Who rebuilt your motor?? You'll need to send me some pics and video's...

With that motor I would rather you not refer to your tune up as "turning up the WICK" We don't want anymore bombs going off!

On a side note, you guys should here his car!! It sounds bad ***!

You don't need to tell Mike or Brian that, I think there's less plumbing in the Sears tower then there is on Mikes car.
