Default Irwindale 10/23?

How did everyone do? Saw a lot of fbodies there.

My car was not leaving worth a damn but it did trap 92-94 so right about where i expected with slow *** times thanks to 1.9 60's with a 1.82 best dialed in and some spray should wake it up nicely

^^^LOL. I want to see this thing tuned and sprayed!

There were some badass cars out there today. A red 4gen WS6 running low 6's out there. I heard it has a c5r block and a whole bunch of other expensive mods. There was a cute blonde racing a fast first gen.

That's a sick *** car son, I bet once tuned it will drop a full sec and gain 10 mph on the motor. Drop another sec and add another 10mph with the spray

Do you still want me to take my car to irwindale untuned? Since a untuned all motor car and a untuned boosted car is the same, right? PUFF PUFF PASS SON.

Yeah I was making jokes about it too. It didn't help that I was wanting to baby launch it and scared to just give it hell gotta man up and mat it, oh well.

Yeah you should of brought it out! It would have been a good race.

Well the first few passes I was being a vagina and not trying to launch it hard but after it ran fine and everything so I tried to mat it and it hooked then just fell on its face. It didn't sound/feel like it bogged it just fell on its face. My guess is it needs to be dialed in. But it MPH'd right where I expected. With a good 60' it should be right around 7.10-.20 on motor. Which is right where I was hoping. Thinking about picking up another converter for when I know I'm not going to be running spray. Something like a 4400ish stall. Get it into the 6's on motor. But overall I'm happy how it ran first time out still not dialed in.

Only video I have of my car but you can see it come out of the hole like a dog then about 80 ft out you can hear it start to pick up.
