I would but you'd have to give me an 1/8th mile head start.

Would love to head up there tonight, but I have plans and have to be at work at midnight anyway.

Well guys, still a 10 second truck. Heat and humidity is a mother trucker. Lol. Driven her home now, had fun though learning more about this setup.

Nice meeting you last night Rob. I noticed during your burnout the driver's side tire doesn't spin...if it did, it started after there was so much smoke that I couldn't see it. I only got to watch one pass though. I know you'd talked about putting a different rearend under it...

I know our car was pretty lazy last night w/ this weather too.

Thanks guys and was good meeting you to. As for the rear there is no doubt the eaton true-track is getting tired. It was about 2 seconds into the burnout before the left side joined the fun. Other passes it was good but I've seen it do that a few times now.

How close did you get Rob?

If I could have paired a good 60 id been pretty close, but really just need more seat/tune time to get it right. I'm in no hurry as 9s is my last goal and I want to get it there safely and not rush a hail mary pass. Yesterday just wasn't it, even my pre-pass AIT was around 125, that's a new high for me in itself.

125 is pretty high to start off with. Any vids of the passes?

She was hot that is for sure. That ole girl has crazy potential. Look into those spacers I think in your application they are worth it. There is a good write up about the principle of it and real world effectiveness in the new Engine Masters magazine by John Kaase.
