Went to the track last night, new best 60'

What started out as a crappy night trying to get to the races turned into a fun time running the car. Still haven't done any jet changes since back in May. First run was an 11.97 @ 113.27 60' was 1.67 (air cleaner on) 2nd run, 11.98 @ 113.84 60' 1.67 (air cleaner off for rest of night) 3rd run and most fun since I was running against a friend's car that I had spent all week getting the engine back in it. Results were 11.88 @ 114.29 with a new best 60' 1.64 to his wheels off the ground, 11.07 @ 121.58 60' 1.49. Here's a video of the run The only bad thing that happened all night was me getting attacked by red ants in the pits

congrats on the new 60'. I'm still wondering how you're not hitting 1.5s yet though.

Stock springs, struts and shocks is my guess. I'm going to change some stuff around before next season starts.

Re: Went to the track last night, new best 60'

Not yet and it doesn't look like I will be for some time. The dyno program I have showed a nice big increase in torque and not much HP loss. Possibly swapping in an LT1 this winter. Bought it back in March before running my car at the track and now the current engine is running much better than last year. I'll be keeping my current engine on a stand while the LT1 goes in, should be a fun engine. Bought it from the guy in the video
