Looks like that carb worked pretty well. That's pretty close to the 10's right there. Congrats on the new ET! :beer:

Looks to me like you got that car doing one heck of job. Really launches good. Not to shabby on the light also. Good work...keep it up.

She sure does leave nice! That's always a nice feeling to be shoved back in your seat when you launch

Thanks! It's running pretty strong and fairly consistant.

This is the slip from that pass.

60' ---- 1.487
330 --- 4.438
1/8 --- 6.956
MPH --97.28
1000 -- 9.147
1/4 --- 11.013
MPH -- 120.17

Wishing for a 10.999!!!

Add a open 1" spacer if you don't already have one, and or cut the ground straps off your plugs. They will foul on the street but usually are worth about 1 tenth. lossen your drum brakes so they are to the point there is no drag, if you have 4 wheel drums it could be a full tenth if your running them tight.

Couple ounces of nitromethane,should do it!!
But seriously ,i bet your brain is working overtime thinking of ways to get a tenth.Those extra ponies sure are hard arent they!!

GOOD LUCK NEXT OUTING!

That's the truth!!! Started out wanting a 13.99! A year later I wanted a 12.99 then a 11.99. A few years and a several thousand later.. i want a 10.99!

Do you think the track officials will look at me funny when i roll up wearing nothing but my helmet?

Ever noticed the relationship between speed / ET and $$$'s ... . I think it becomes "exponential" when you strive for anything 10.99 or lower !!

I know where you are coming from - the last 3 years been creeping down from 11.70's to 11.40's and finally 11.20's with the same combination. Tuning, documentation ... more tuning and a few pennies here and there ... trying to wring out that last bit of performance.

... uh, err ... what was that noise from the motor anyway ... hence the "stroker project" that is underway.

Good luck with your quest and keep us all posted with your progress ... 10.99 ... 10.99 ... 10.99 ... mantra !!!
