What did you install?
Featherburner
10-17-2013, 07:04 PM
Installed a Circle D converter and I built and installed some axle backs. Still need to install a trans cooler, and my line locks. I'm heading to Delaware tomorrow for a touch up on the tune.

Remind me not to ask for a ride. I don't need another project this winter.

Well, the car is back in one piece for now and it drive too.
Just a Converter and no cam?
Featherburner
10-18-2013, 09:26 PM
Just a Converter and no cam?Maybe next year. I'm a lowly working man with a wife, 2 kids, a house and several toys. A cam would have been double the $1400 I just put into it for the converter and cooler.

I think the car is back together for the last time. Tested the line lock and that seems to work well. Now all it needs is a bath and the drag wheels installed. I have a lot to do on the tow rig but I'm getting there. It's going to be a busy weekend.

Weather is looking good for Monday. Hopefully We'll get some good negative DA. I'm hoping for atleast -1000ft. I think last year was around -1100ft.

New best of back to back 11.15@ 123 runs. Was able to squeek a 124 mph pass in the end. 60' times were not where I wanted them though.
Blackbirdws6
11-04-2013, 06:39 PM
New best here as well. Ran 10.74 @ 136.7 with a 1.6x 60 foot. Was hoping for better but the car didn't break and there is always room for improvement.

Not surprised.
Most burnouts are:
1.) Slowly pull forward, apply brakes
2.) Ease into throttle, get them going
3.) Speed up a bit
4.) Let off/roll forward
Yours was
1.) Come in hot, slam on brakes
2.) Go WFO
3.) Stay WFO
4.) Stay WFO
5.) Roll to lights

Brian, thanks for putting together a great race day. I ran 5 runs all low 10 teens, with a pb of 10.12 @133.95 132 60ft . I think one more jet change would have put it in the 9s.All in all not to shabby for a N/A LT-1 . Thanks, again

Being a street racing troll is good and fine and all, but you gotta at least be amusing before you get banned.
Otherwise, its just lame.
