Back to track after a month+
Well no great times but good race day.
First pass 11.07 @ 122 .005 light
second run 11.05 @ 122 .030 light.
First elim. dialed 11.03
1st pass 11.10 @ 107 on brakes .044 light.
2nd pass 11.05 @ 114 on brakes again. .038 light
3rd pass 11.028 @ 124 on 11.03 dial .026 light to winners .030
Well can not be mad bout that - it was a great race, beat myself..
Car ran good, not exceptional but good.. Hoosiers were hooking great! Though I am not sure they can duplicate the times of the M/T's - I kinda think the stiff sidewall will hurt my 60 but we will see. They did hook great and pretty consistant as follows.
1.482 - 1.480 - 1.478 - 1.474
Also have new trans in car, long story though the old stocker with B&M shift improver worked great. Decided to build a tougher one that I hate!
Following parts:
-Alto red clutches and steel
-2nd and 4th gear super servos
-kevlar band
-boost valves
-13 vane pump kit.
-hardened sprag and sun gear.
-trans go shift kit race setting.
I really don't think it shifted hard as the stocker with $32 shift kit. It has even more delay on 1-2 shift and lags on 2-3 shift when driving normal.

man i still cant wait to see your car in person
i'm planning on goin up sometime in october... for saturday test n tunes.... either the 8th, 15th, or 22nd.. i lookin at the 15th
i got the exhaust leak fixed for the most part, and new torque arm bushings since my last one was trashed. the car feels strong
hopefully it beats previous 13.99 at 92.6mph pass with the exhaust leak and worn TQarm bushing

I look forward to seeing your car as well.
And yes the 10 bolt still going strong, though it makes a good amount of noise now. But it started that last year.
