Well...taking Jon's instructions in wanting at least some sort of baseline...i ran before he got there. I got smoked by a 35th anniversary stang. As it sits right now, my 305/auto/2.73 combo was faster then my new 350/auto/3.42 combo by 6 tenths in the 1/4.
94 degree day...a billion % humidity.
My 60' was a 2.2 and it was all downhill from there. My TV cable was oddly adjusted (I thought it was right) so even though i shifted, the trans would decide to shift at 6000.
. TPI+6000 is no good. I ended up spinning what seemed a quarter of the way...only to not be able to really hit 3rd gear by the end...for an 86 mph trap and a 15.581 run.
Then Jon (Fasterthanyou) got there. Unfortuneately, so did rain/thunder storms. Him and I discussed some tuning stuff...went over a lot...and once the rain let up began playing. We got everything straightened out...and as i finally drove into the staging lanes...they decide to close the track.
Well, we met at a Wawa closeby, and he began tuning some more. As it sits, the car is completely different. It runs like a bat out of hell and I'm very pleased right now. It no longer runs rich, or hot. The fans run now (they didnt before) and idle is awesome. Not only that, after a TV cable adjustment its shifting better. However, the governor in the trans is set a tad high...I'll talk to Ziggy about that.
All and all...im pleased with how the night turned out.
