Congrats buddy!!!! You were HAULING *** today!!!! Ya made me proud

Chris, the 10.32 was on motor... He sprayed it and went a 10.08 but it was in and out of the spray all the way down the track... We will get it worked out and get some good nitrous times SOON!!!

Hey Mike, I was playing around with the weather conditions.. Looks like we were about 1900 + DA today given the elevation/weather conditions... Puts your CORRECTED ET @ 10.08@135.6 if you were racing in perfect air... Not too shabby either way my friend!!

WoW! Thanx guys!!! Y'all didn't see the look on my face when it went 11.70 off the trailer The pewter pig was gonna leave with a 4SALE on it if it didn't do better than that LOL!

Told everyone if it went 10.70's I'd be happy.... any quicker would be a gift.

REALLY pleased with the final motor ET's after some suspension/tire tweaking. If we can get that lazy 60' knocked down to where it should be, I think there's a bit more ET in it as it sits.

Sure hate to think that weak *** Vengeance motor is capable of 10.1x's-20's NA haha!(....course the driver needs to learn when to "SHIFT" as Carnahan so politely pointed out

Gonna try like Hell to make Carolina Dragway next Saturday. Not sure we'll have the new kit(s) working by then, but maybe whittle down the NA numbers?

Thanx again guys, I appreciate duh luv!

Yeah, yeah.... I know. Last two passes I was getting a grip on it. Seems like it winds up a whole bunch faster than the old motor-

This was only the 9th pass on this combo.... I'll get it figured out-

Btw JAMES..... WTF were YOU yesterday?

Thanx again guys

I'm betting that thing would run 9.x's on motor, if you got that 60' down.

You could spend a couple hours adjusting the suspension at the track and increasing the trans-break RPM and it'd be really close to 9's on the motor.

I had a 3400 rpm pill on my trans-break and it was cutting 1.72's 60' on the drag radials, I put a 3800 rpm pill and it cut a 1.65 60' from just increasing the trans-break rpm by 400.

Screw the bottle, run 9's on MOTOR! You know she'll do it Mike.

Thumbs down

I didn't even know about this until the day of the event. Would have been fun to watch you make that pig run like that chief. You and I have been at this **** a LONG time with these cars of ours. Now you've got that thing FAST AS HELL!!

That's awesome!! You gotta be really happy about it.

I dunno Mikey.... that's pretty optomistic. Maybe in Houston or Glen Burnie, but down here at current raceweight?

Already toying w/the idea of a cam/converter change. The single patt. on a 112 isn't really N2o friendly, and the ss3600 is a bit small, but I think Ron's got me talked into seeing if we can get any more out of it w/the current hard parts before we make any changes.

Right now it's real user friendy, and would hate to give up any street manners.
It is a street car you know.....

Hey Jerry.... thanx for the help(heads up), and the footage!

Hurry up and get that converter back in. I really wanted to see your car run the number..... and for the love of God man would you quit breakin' **** already? Any chance you makin' it to Carolina with us Saturday?
