First pass 14psi in the E.T. Streets which I drove down from Redding on
Spun like a bitch off the line to the tune of a 2.021 60ft, missed second gear not once, but twice and ran it out to a 13.425 @ 108.664
The next three runs were with 9.5psi in the tires
12.386 @ 110.545 w/1.738 60 ft new best mph on motor
12.222 @ 111.927 w/1.761 60 ft NEW BEST ET AND MPH on motor
12.357 @ 109.359 w/1.712 60 ft Hit second gear and got really close to the center line but just powered through it
You gotta love great weather !!!! I'm sure upgrading to 4.10's, and the Flaming River manual rack helped a little
Unfortunately, my nitrous system wasn't working right so I got no "bottle" passes The bottle would have produced a 10 second timeslip or a shitload of tire smoke in all 4 gears

Yes, I have !!!! She weighs 3330 as of today (down from a previous 3435
Future plans include,
AJE Tubular K-member
Coil overs front and rear
Meziere electric water pump w/ idler pulley
COMPLETE A/C and heater system delete
Rear seat delete
Center console thingy delete
Light weight race seats
Removal of the Mild Steel rollbar and replace with a chrome moly cage
All of these are more dreams than "plans" for right now, but we'll see what happens

But I only ran a 12.62 @ 106 on the motor the day I ran 11.24 @ 122 on the bottle. so to me it seems that picking up 1.38 seconds that day would have EASILY been a 10.90 @ 125-126 yeasterday
