This has been an interesting read. Sorry I missed the drag strip - again. My car has been acting a little weird lately too - maybe it's just the driver. I'll try to remember to come on here more often to keep up with you guys.

Im wanting to go to grrr tomorrow to try out my relocation brackets I just welded up. Car doesnt seem to squat as bad now. If they fixed my traction problems then Im gonna bust 7.8's wide open. If they didnt, then I need to go back to the drawing board.

It has been in the trunk of my car getting hot every day. So I wasn't expecting much especially with the near 90 degree weather.
I made two almost identical all motor passes - 7.68 ETs @ 88.67 mph.
I then went for a spray run. I used the 5200 rpm engage pill so I would be past the 60' mark before it came on. I was still too nervous to arm it at the line and was almost half track before I "hit" the switch. lol And went 7.406 ET @ 95.79 mph. 2nd spray run I hit the switch a little earlier and went 7.312 @ 96.49 mph. Then I decided to trust the 5200 rpm pill and arm it on the line. I went 7.26 ET @ 96.78 mph!

I also richened it up a lot at WOT to be safe, so I know It will do better. Going to wait until I get to the dyno before I lean it up any so I can be sure of the AFR...

Yep that's right.
But then if you are special, 
they say don't worry about it run as many times as you want...
