Congrats Darryl! Thats an awesome pass.

Enjoyed watching you fellas run today.
I thought the red Vette sounded absolutely pissed off(in a good way) going down the track,and the white 4 door looked to be on a mission on that last pass.:bigthumb:

Hope you didn't hurt the powerglide Harry!

No problem on the torch. Glad to be able to help someone.

The car ran really well yesterday. We let it sniff a little shot of gas and went a 6.05 1/8 and a 9.57 1/4 @ 136mph on the footbrake. Still have some tuning to do, the carb is a little lean right now. We will get that right, and then tune for the spray again. We were happy running 9's and had a good time as well. I'll get a video up of the 9 sec pass.

Hopefully not. But it has to come out to be checked.

Nice pass Will! :bigthumb:

The Turbo truck couldn't hook, still ran some good times, i think somewhere around the 11.3 and 121 mph, all boost, rob tried the gas with a bottle at 500psi and a 50 shot jet and just blew the tires off.

he is out of town right now for a conference, so when he gets back hopefully the vids will be ready to post.

I was talking to Bill at Darlington, cause he asked the same thing about the rust. I am still tuning the fuel on the gas, but that is red Sunoco maximal fuel, so as rich as it is, it has a pinkish rusty look to it, out the gate. If you look in the dumps the padding in the magnaflow mufflers are that color also. We are just sneaking up on the tune little at a time, should be some 70's hopefully, by the time its done.

Congrats, got the 4 dr moving. Good luck with the future progress :)

Montgomery,

It was good meeting you and Lenny at the track yesterday. That mod motor runs really well in that car. Good luck with everything!

Will

White00gt 12-05-2010 06:58 PM

Thank you Will, It was also nice meeting you guys. Good luck with the car.

Give Lenny a call any time you may have any questions. He can help you out in the converter department.

Thanks, I work hard at the car. Trans desided it didn't want to back up when we went up for the 2nd hit. I'm hoping the modulator valve and it's nothing to major.
Bout that time I saw rain sprinkles anyway, the car ran a number out the trailer as soft as she was so it didn't bother me too much to load up.


..and my gf wasn't there so it only figures I would have no pics, vid or anything lol
I can't say anything really; I had my gopro in the floor board...............

Congrats Darryl on the new time. The car was really moving out on that pass.
