New PB 10.172 @ 128.21
Amazing what a properly working tach will do. Car is very consistent. Pulls like a freight train in first and second gear, third is a turd. I have to get the gears in the trans, barely picking up any mph after the 1/8th.
Dang that is cookin'!
Are you hauling down to Cecil in Nov?

not sure yet. trying to make LVD this weekend. I hate whipping on the car knowing that there are no real gains to be had until I get the trans squared away. here's why:

Yes sir, already on that. Gary, Warren, Cliff, and AJ have been amazing help. The converter and flare are both fairly easy fixes but I have to yank the transmission to get done when I need to and with the season coming to a close I haven't wanted to do that.

Cool videos!
That 10.22 you really spun off the launch, but looked like much less so on the last one.
Maybe you've already tried lower air pressure in the slicks, but looks like you could try a bit lower.
Great job! That car is going to surprise alot of folks!
Hope you can make it to Cecil in Nov, and SDAC next year!

that was my first run and the slicks were not warmed up properly my 60ft was a 1.591
Slicks were set to 8.5, probably set them to 7.5 next time.
I really want to, but I want to get the gearing correct. Where is SDAC?
I also ran a 10.68@109.64 I/C hose blew of just before the 1/8th(104mph) so I basically coasted thru 1/4.
