    OK, so the 'business' people are getting pissed at starbucks, I watched each clip like 20 times at full volume on the laptop

    Freakin SaaaWeeeet!!!

    Props to the camera man too, he did a great job of holding steady and getting the scoreboard, so many guys F that up and it ruins the footage

    For some reason the motor sounds a little different on the .27 run? I like that audio the best, sounds leaner and meaner somehow. Did you make boost/fuel adjustments between any of the runs? Kick --- bracket machine with consistancy like that

    Thanks Ken!

    Most were in the 2.0 range.....LOL!!!

    Best was 1.98

    While embarrassing to admit it also shows the potential of a high 11 if I can just muster a 1.8x

    I'm going to possibly test it again at PIR this Saturday night to see if it was just the track conditions.

    I thought these big slicks would couple it to the earth for sure.......NOT!!!

    Scott James did the videos..........he's the best you could ask for IMO

    He also hauled the minivan to the track for me in his new enclosed trailer

    THANKS Scott!!!

    I made one tuneup adjustment all day

    I still have not touched the timing and it is still running rich on the top end

    Re: New Minivan Record

    With all the HYPE of who is going to get their Mini Van into the 11's first I fiqured that I whould up the ANTE a little more.

    Here are the ground rules
    1. it must be FWD--Mopar
    2. it must have a 4-cylinder Mopar motor
    3. you must have it on video
    4. you must post the time slip with a scan
    5. last but not least you must back it up within 1%

    ---if you run 11.99 you must run at least a 12.11 on the same date at
    the same track---

    FIRST ONE TO DO THIS WILL GET A CHECK FROM ME FOR $250.00


    Good Luck

    Man, Terry that's just awesome. If you can hook you'll have the 11's for sure. I still can't believe you're doing all this on such a basic setup. What's your tranny set up like to take all this punishment?

    Also was it just me or did I hear some piston slap? Was it ever rebuilt?

    Thanks Bryan

    The tranny is nothing special really.It has the later 4 pinion planet and tighter clearences in the clutch pack.All new side and pinion gears in the diff with a crappy Phantom grip.I just installed a RMVB and Forward Motion converter(I had Pat's Converter service it recently).

    The tranny has probably 75+ passes on it so far

    If I were making the rules and putting up the money, I'd say it had to be at SDAC-17 too!
