I only managed a 7.9 but at 80! I still have yet to get a tune and the TM is killing the the shifts so it will stutter between shifts and it would not shift to 3rd gear and the end of the track so I had to let off and coast! also I had hell trying to get the car hooked on those BFG DR's so next time out either MT DR's or ET streets will get the call! but I had fun regardless and won 4 out of the 5 races only losing once to Mach1nut again(spun hard out of the hole 2.1 60ft) but got him the second time around when I got the 7.9 with a 1.7 60ft just walking it out and then hitting the gas!

thanks. It is pretty mild though. Iron 5.3 bored to 3.905, Eagle rods, Diamond pistons, 70cc Patriots. The combo only gets me about 8.9:1 comp; original plan was a turbo. Eventually it will be. The cam is only a 216/220 115. Stall is 3200 Vig.
I was spraying 100.

Depends. I was there in a white Z w/ SS badges and C5 wheels, but I don't have a wing. Kinda indirectly met you when you were talking to the guy with the Silver auto w/stall TA.

It had some weird *** ducktail type wing or something on it...I want to say young kid with a green t-shirt driving it.

Should have introduced yourself when I was talking to Roy. I need to get a rear end under my car so I can leave at 5500.

Nice! You car runs strong. I remember watching it a few runs. We would be a pretty good run.. Here's me best from sunday out of 2 passes..

60ft -1.58
1/8 - 6.92
mph - 100.82

btw, I had to 91 coupe on welds, primer/sanded black with a red front bumper. Looks pretty crappy, but that will all change in a few weeks.
