Default Made it in the 8's

Still doing some tuning but not bad for a 275 BFG drag radial, .550 lift cam and a 215 TFS head.

Nice job -

How does your car do in 1/8 mile? That's a dumb *** question! Every car runs the 1/8 on the way to a 1/4.

Over at Ohio Valley Louisville Ky they have a D/R race this Saturday. I've never looked at the rules but you're not too far away. If you don't want to run D/R there might be another class over there where you might have some fun..

You're welcome
