Had an oiling issue and pulled it apart to check bearings. My local engine builder checked everything while it was apart.

Gotcha.... Man I hope that's not the case with mine. I received mine about September 2015 IIRC and it's just been sitting inside the tote in the laundry room.

Axle housing has been shortened 5" per side and Team Z brace kit. Now I'm waiting for Strange Pro Race 35 spline axles and spool. I have Baer SS4+ drag brakes ready to go on too.

I didn't measure the housing when I pulled it out of the car but I found on the internet the factory width is 59.25" and it is 48.75" now so 9.5" total.

Update time: At the end of last season I was running 1/8 mile at a local grudge track and got the time down to consistent 6.2x but because I had the clutch counter weight off the trap speed was off at 107 mph. 60' was also consistent at 1.30.

Over the winter I sent 1-4 gears to Liberty's for faceplating. Went to our local 1/4 mile track yesterday and the first run off the trailer was best ever. 1.27, 6.14@111, 9.59@144.13 and there are still several things that we are working on to knock it down some more.

I didn't get a video of the first pass and spun off the line on second pass but this is the third which I aborted after the 1/8. 1.28, 6.11@105.

What tire are you running? Doesn't look like the drag radial in prior pictures.

On your fastest pass so far..... what was your rpm launch and do you shift off a shift like or do you go by ear?

Launching at 5500 and I have a shift light.
