Yeah! I personnally saw it ran against my Z28. It definitely moved although I did get a good jump on him and held him for a few seconds...then proceeded the spanking on my Z.

Yeah, I remember being parked right beside you at one point. Sorry I didn't realize you were a member on here.

Finally in the 11's. Car/tranny/converter performed flawlessly. It was hard to stop running....1.63 60's feel damn good. I've never felt 1st gear from a dig and it's addicting. My best pass was 11.93 @ 113. Car is pretty consistent, ran two 11.93's and one 12.0. It's got more in it, but I need those gears to utilize all of third instead of 2 seconds of it. Either way, great night and the car felt awesome. I'm looking for 1.5X's once I get the 9" in and hopefully some 11.7's.

HUGE thanks to George for lending me the tires. I owe you big time. As always, it was great seeing you and your wife at the track. Looking forward to next year!!

Good Runs! Brian definitely put you in the right direction with that converter! I think he went a best of 1.49 60' on M/T DRs but I'm not sure which cam you have compared to the cam he had (and the power difference) but there can't be much.
