Nothing special to report..my usual miss a gear here..red light there Weather was nice and very light turnout. I spun like crazy in the left lane in 4th gear! which i never have before, so those runs were aborted. Best et on these stupid DR's was 12.4 and best mph was 118.9.

trying to race on street DOT tires is a bitch sometimes. With as much power as you got you should throw some 28 x 10 slics on that thing and be done with it.(then you couldn't race wed nights)I guess it is all a trade off.

Really? Didn't think anyone would be able to hear it over the V8's I was paired with. Thanks! Not sure how much more I will do to it. I have an extra head abd might port it and throw in bigger valves. And lose the cat, of course.

edit: Thanks to Rhett for the chance to drive his car. Too bad I shifted into 5th instad of 3rd...
Want your pressure gauge back?

pretty impressive numbers on the SVO, gotta love the sleepers/beaters

Thanks. I hope it is a little less "beater-ish" after a paint job. Sleeper is very cool, tho! I saw an SRT-4 running 13.8's. Would be nice to be able to beat that.

another fuel tank swap for good measure, get that cat out of there, and that should be good enough for a 13.9 and a decent night out

Judging by your numbers, the SVO would have been a good race for me... Last friday at TNT I ran a 14.52 at 97.2mph with a 2.2 60 foot time on street tires.
