sweet, thanx for the vids. guess my car does look good going down the track... 
now that i got a good base line (all my runs were right around each other), i can figure out what my mods would give me. oh and by the way, mine was the SS with chrome ZR1's. Also, how would i go about putting those vids on my myspace.com?

I might have the slowest car there, but we all have to start some where.

Ryan, those vids REALLY turned out well, nice launch angles 
Ellis I'll comment on your runs when the proper superlatives finally come to me .... hasn't happened yet 
Having been out of it for this whole season it's still amazing to me how far everybody has come

Great vids guys, Rokko you had some great times there. And Doug that 11.1 run was amazing. I love watching your car launch. What tire setup do you have?

You shoudn't be up this early. 
Gotta say to all, Ricks car if officially named the FREAK. 
His car should be in the 11's as a cam only car. Can't wait for you to get all the goodies so we can do the install.

I'm gonna talk to Chris and see how long I can tie up his garage and get a loaner. And see when Ellis can come over and how much it will be so he can set up the valvetrain once it's all installed.

When I ran against Ellis I tried a 3k transbrake launch and spun like a biotch. No 10 sec slip for me this year but I am not totally unhappy. I didnt break anything and I did get some better timeslips.

Actually the 13psi and 15psi was boost. I left the tire pressure at 20 psi which seemed to work fine for the most part. On my 2nd run I tried to stall up on the footbrake as high as it would let me and it pushed the front tires through the lights. I dont know if I let off too much or if it glazed the tires or what.
