Default Texas LT1 car goes 9.56 @ 143.68 on shakedown run
Texas is still in the game with LT1's. My new setup finally hit the track. Still having transmission issues as I had only 1st and 3rd gear. 2nd gear was not my friend last night.

I will post up the vid later tonight.

Already commented on the local board, but congrats Tony.

Mid 9's on a shakedown run with an iffy tranny = I think 8's are definitely coming.

Makes me just a little more anxious to have my motor back. We'll have 2 LTX's here in Austin that are punishing the 1320. Although your car is definitely a level above mine, I think I'll also do my part to shut up the LTX bashers.

Congrat's on getting it back to the track finally.

I'm thinking the car might be a little too heavy for a glide as well.
