New Best!

First time gettin the wheels up and so close to an 11sec I can taste it. Good news is there's more in it with some more tuning. It's gettin there for a street car that will still autocross and a total investment of under $6000.

60ft = 1.618 spinning.
594ft = 7.285
1/8 = 7.790 @ 89.16
1/4 = 12.060 @ 113.8

Good job! Runs great, especially for the money! A little night air & you'll have that 11!

It was high 80's and bad muggy. So some night air would be a big help. Everything on this car has been horse traded, used, whatever.
I need to work on adjusting my pinion angle so it will stop spinning on launch. Anybody know what to adjust to get it to quit kickin sideways on the launch?
Also, I'm still dialing in the carb. My last pass I went up 2 steps on the rear mains and gained 2mph. So there's still more there. Thanks.

Thanks, it's getting close. But it's still spinning coming out of the hole, and I'm not done playing with the carb yet. So I know theres more in it.
The car is rolling over big time causing it to spin. Does anybody have any experience putting an air bag under the right rear spring? I don't want to change the sway bar because it's still a street car.
