Its a little bit of a ride but should be fun.

I've been thinking about it, however found out yesterday I have to go to a Boeing/Pratt and Whitney meeting that following Monday. That said, I have to fly out sunday.

Your gonna fly through ATL right? Might as well pack your shit and fly out of there. lol

Valid point lol. How far is the drive?

Bout 5 hours from here to the track. 3 hours from the track to ATL.

I am going to Darlington, to see if the pig will actually go into the 8's. Go or blow, I guess..:bigthumb:

Can't wait to hear the results. When are you going?
I still have a magazine without a signature...

I am going also to what mine will do in the 1/4.

This Saturday. Will leave about 10:30am. They run from 1 to 5 pm

so is that a no go on Darlington tomorrow?

Were going to tomorrow and is going to see what the car will do.

see yall there, shooting for 10's myself, well, if i dont get booted first..

Going to spray it today. With the forcast for today, maybe 9's on motor is possible.

Good luck Smith's Let us know how you do. Thanks for letting me borrow that torch a couple weeks ago btw!

Got lucky and didn't break anything.

w00t!

Very nice Carl. Congrats on the 10's. Very nice mph.

Ya, Real good MPH. I went 10.77 but at 123. Then got back to the trailer and something happened to the trans. Oh well.

Got the 4 door pig to run 8.98 at 148mph, still tuning, but it doesn't matter she still went 8's..:bigthumb:

:hail::hail::hail::bigthumb:

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:

Darryle did you get it? I was standing behind you when you blew all the rust out the exhaust hehehe.



check that, I should of finished reading. Congrats on the pass:bigthumb:

Congrat's Darryl and Carl :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.

What did the Turbo Truck run?

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

Congratulations to everyone. All of those are great times. Harry, I hope it's an easy fix.

those are some great times. congrats to all.

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

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.

Maybe a Flywheel issue? fingers crossed

The track was working good that day.
