Having said all that, I'm going this Friday and I may be eating my words. I'm gonna be trying to hook a 150 shot off the transbrake and our forecasted high is gonna be 54. Could be dicey.....

Saturday is usually pretty good.... watched them spray from start to finish lines, both lanes, and more than 1 pass, before dragging it.
Now, as for my set-up....been hit and miss, but I'm getting better.....slowly LOL. I just don't get to the track enough to be that good

15-20mph gusts out of the NW...going to see if it calms down over nite....Calling for almost 60* 
Playing by ear right now....don't like 120+mph and crosswinds
Tailwind would be nice though LOL

1st pass 11.80 @ 113....wtf ???
add 2* timing across the board....36* from 1000-8000rpm flat lined....change shift point from 7000 to 6500.
1.555 60' 11.33 @ 117.71....now we're getting somewhere
Change shifts to 6800 and timing is now 38* flat lined....11.327 @ 116.79 with a best ever 1.546 60' happier, but feels like it's nosing over at top end of shift rpms.
Changed to 6600 shift and at half track get hit by a wind gust...butt hole pucked and I got out of it
Ended my day, and went home. I think I'm going to drop the timing to 37* for next time out.
Feels good lifting the tires again
More work to do.

lost .3 in the 660' and just under 1mph in the 1320' at 38* (+2* more)
Going to put it at 37* for next time.
Still need to tune carb also....there may be a few more tenths ?

Doug have you verified the timing in the msd with alight and mark on the balancer?

Interesting.....It has never even crossed my mind to check the MSDs oil . I just assumed if it said it , it must be true. Have you ever checked one that was off? Now you've given me something else to question about these money pits.
Doug, let us know what you come up with.
