I swear I'm gonna take it in the middle of the desert and set it on fire!!!! Wait...... it only runs those times because I can't drive......... Damn it!!!

lol, 11.2 best before h/c installed. went to track once since the install (our 1/4 track in Dallas is NEVER open ), and had trouble launching all night long (i got new clutch with the h/c pkg, i'm still tryin to figure out the best "launch")

and ya, it was short race. i'm not a big fan of racing from a dig and doing the 1/8. that's basically a drivers race no matter what your car puts down. i love the 1/4, but when i go to the track, i don't give a rats **** about who i'm lined up against. i run against my own previous best.

there was a whippled cobra last night, said he was putting 630rwhp, and i asked him to race from a roll (he had street tires on). i was hoping to get some of that before the night was over, but some chick asked if she could ride in the Z (and she was hot ) so when we got back to the race, the cobra was gone. maybe next time

Street tires? He might as well have on ice skates.
You would've destroyed him.

Nice run! That was my buddy josh that I got to race you last night with the cobra, he put down 475 on the dyno SAE, I dunno why he tells everyone 500 lol. Guess he wish's he hit the 500 mark! When my TA was running I put down 455 and put about 2 cars on him, wish I could of raced you with it, that would of been a close one nice meeting you.

Yeah that was jason in the blue cobra, he never races anyone but when you took the chick for a ride he raced that pewter TA w/cam & heads and only beat it by 2 1/2 cars. That TA was not fast at all, It raced a stock TA at the end of the night and only won by a 1 1/2 cars

It's going to have massive traction issues 4th gear is where it would start to hook. I have MT DR on and make 640 rwhp and it'll leave solid black marks all the way through 3rd and start to hook in 4th.

Ummm I think your solid black marks are due to 800 ftlbs of torque!!! I could be wrong!!!

I would like to see you run him too. Now about the 630rwhp, its more like 575rwhp SAE is what it put down from what the previous owner told a buddy of mine...
