Oh, you meant 1/4 mile times?

My best so far is 12.30@111.67mph with a STILL crummy 1.95 60ft time.


I gotta hook my mufflers back up, lack of backpressure is killing me.

Karl, what happened at the track? sounds like you did have a rough weekend, i read about the incident on Friday night. that sucks, but sounds like both cars were running good this weekend. I have a "new" opti on the way so shouldnt be too much longer and project "el Cheapo" should be back on the road.

I would like to state openly and truthfully that Karl beat my MPH expectations by 6-7 mph. His ET's were where I thought they would be, but for an LT1 with those gears, 110+ mph is very impressive.


If Karl can possibly get all the parts on his car to work at the same time, I may be in trouble

I could not pass up an opportunity to try a 6 speed. I wanted to put one in my car for along time, so I had to try it out. I'll be putting my auto back in tomorrow, that's what I used to post my previous times. Anyone that drag race knows that a auto will always be faster. Like I said "I had to try it".

I just changed my spark plugs because the porcelain on the #3 plug was cracked.

Josh,
How does $50 sound to change your opti?
