sounds like the car is running great for you scotty. i miss her
I am giving her all the love my back pocket will let me.. What was your times with her? I have been feeding her Ultra 94 gas, and gave her some new plugs and a Accel high voltage coil, and weld in SFC. She is about to go in the garage for the winter, Thanksgiving weekend will be her last weekend out.
To be honest i dont know. would like to run 1/4 but unfortunatley broke the ring gear last race of the year. if i had to guess high 11's maybe a little better never know motor could come on hard at the big end.
