Default Centerville EFI record was broken......

Twice last night! If I am not mistaken, while I was tuning on Robbys car I heard over the PA that Frank ran a 7.9x @ 125 I think (can't remember exactly), but then when I was up there watching some runs, Frank unleashed a 7.83 @ 132.xx if I remember correctly. Frank that truck is movin!!!

Thanks! The 7.96 run was only 123 because I had to lift completely just past 1/8th and lifted again at 900ft. Actually all 3 of my runs were under the record but the first in time trials didnt count (8.09@128 at 6oclock when it was still TERRIBLE HOT!)

Needless to say the gear swap and approx 2more psi really woke it up! Can't wait until the air is alot easier to compress this fall!

The 60' could still use some work but its getting there.

Hell yeah, looks like on that last pass that you still spun some, but that thing was moving good up top, and the air was horrible for sure.

Yeah I think it may be time to shed the 60# injectors... It was less than 1 mph slower in the 1000' than it ran a couple weeks ago at Bristol in 1320'!

Oh yeah you guys should know... I'm not the fastest vehicle out of ZRC though!

Had 3.25s in it and went to 3.70s... But I went from the 275/60s to the 29.5x10.5s so effectively with the tire height change it was equivalent of 3.25 to about 3.50.
