I got a new best time of 13.83 at 98.74 mph with a 2.04 60 ft after the installation of my shifter and pullies. It was sort of warm today though, so there's still a little more left in it. I even got 7 runs in, but the first 4 weren't good at all, took me a little bit to get in a groove and stop missing shifts or getting a 2.9 60 ft I got on one run. I didn't ice the intake either, I should probably start doing that soon. My mph went up from other runs today by taking Jim's advice and shifting at 5500 on the 1-2 and the 2-3 shifts, and my normal 5200 on the 3-4. I had to do a pretty big burnout even on my radials to get some good traction. I'll be back to the track on the 16th also. I might have my exhaust on by then I hope.

It was great to meet you today! Glad you to see you go all the way to the 13.8's. Your biggest improvement was in your launch, good driving! I hit one 13.5 at 100.5mph on a 1.87 60 ft and a pair of 13.56's (1.88, 1.90). Dropping the sway bar was not a big help- might be at the limit of my worn out dirt track tires. It was nice to see the 13.5's w/ 1 mph less top end due to the warmer weather/lower baro. Only power shifted 3-4 today- worried about breakage (The Brain's legacy...). The tires spin a little at launch (13psi) but don't squeal- kind of a ripping sound due to the tread.JL

I thought that you were going to go anyways. Remember you said at work, "See you on Saturday." I tried calling you from the track but you didn't pick up. Oh well though, think of it this way...you saved 7 bucks, lol. So, what do you think of the new time?

Very impressive. I wonder if you got factory 3.27 gears. Check your drivers side door sticker and see what the "AX" code is. M=2.73, Z-3.08, E=3.27

Thanks. I checked it to make sure and it says Z.

Very impressive for 3.08's. With the usual worth while bolt-ons, you'll be right there with FasterDamnit!
