I bought the D-60 out of the site classifieds and the seller had it loaded with 5.13s. I intended to replace 'em with 4.33s, but the guys at the shop talked me to just mounting it up as is… it was all brand new gear, had never been mounted, so WTH… I bolted it up as is, thinking I'd have some fun with 'em and take'em off in short order.
What I didn't know, was that 5.13s are WICKED.
It's one of those rare things which SHOULD come with an Asterisk… and a warning:
"Once you use these, you can't go back!"

How come weight reduction has to always consist of option delete?
It has some anodized red pulley get up on it with alot of wrap on the blower. Put a new belt on and it goes away. Wash the car the squeak comes back. I guess what ever water that gets on it drips threw the cobra esque hood.
Actually it has not even been a year since my 131 pass....couple years since it has been over 130 and I told you I don't have a vid of it......plenty of slips though. So I guess once again you have had your exaggerated **** blown out of the water.
I have posted other vids of it....several times.
Besides.....I'll post a vid for snake.....just not for you.

Customer of ours with a 383 LT1, STOCK CNC ported Advanced Induction castings, Advanced Induction ported intake, what I believe is a 238/246 108lsa cam and 11.5:1 compression, 4L60e with a 5000 stall and 4.11's goes 6.90's-7.0's@97-99mph like clock work. 275/60 M/T Drag Radial as well driven to and from the track. 3500lb. car.
I'd be looking into the set-up more for some extra power if it only is trapping 89-90mph on motor.

What you're talking about, is conflating two issues... this in hopes of equating my old build, having been changed to my new build, all of which happened LONG before you sidled in here and smack talked yourself into this race... After which; despite having stated, in no uncertain terms that my car was pig slow... You dramatically upgraded your setup... Significantly increasing your cars horsepower.
The point in referencing the old build is simply to note how silly you were when you went SO far beyond the bounds of good taste to denigrate the current setup's posted times and general performance.
Now, I say that because NO ONE... Has said ANYTHING that could reasonably be inferred as an implication, that this build has run 7.2s.
So... Well, you see how it is.
I am still unsure why you took that tact... Beyond a defect in character. But as far as I'm concerned we have our own speed...
BUT! With regard character, which as a young'ne, such is under development... the only mitigating factor is you have stood up, claimed your words and accepted the race in taking responsibility for 'em. Which is after all, that which sustains one right to speak freely.
So... You show promise and may very well come out of this better than ya went into it.

Fine... I hereby stipulate for all time that you have made it clear that you were in the process of upgrading. Super!
That in no way changes the fact that you came in here... Relentlessly dogged THE PERFORMANCE OF A CAR THAT IS IN THE PROCESS OF UPGRADING.
Which now leaves you set up to race that car... While you're in the process of upgrading.
Which falls under sweet irony... I adore the sweeter ironies, so brother... As I've told you many times, I'm good with the whole thang.
