This is about the 6th time out for car and getting faster,Pretty nice weather today, cool w/cross wind and some sun. First pass had to lift slightly as car hooked to left again, still ran 9.09 @ 150 new best, second pass added 1lb air and raised Right wheelie bar 1/2 turn. New best all the way through 1.25 60ft, 5.76 @ 120 1/8 0.02 @ 151, first round eliminations now, lights are just getting on key once getting used to car, raced rail, I got out .0139 to his
.0179 , he ran 8.61 on 8.61, I ran 9.03 on 9.00 dial new best 60ft 1.249, 7.77 1/8 @ 120, 9.03 @ 151, think I shifted a tad late out of second....

I think it needs a little more jet in secondaries, but forgot jet kit - she got 8's in her though.. Also still forced to come off brake @ 3000 and still hitting wheelie bars to hard, anything more unloads tires causing car to hook. 350 trans has too low of first for this lite car... If I had a glide I think it would go 8.80s

so how much does this potato chip weigh

You'll like a glide.

What have you done to control front end rise? Limiters? Shock adjustment?

I also want that 8 second timeslip but still haven't gotten any track time this year. Racing at altitude doesn't help.

Wow man, that cars is moving out well! Should have let me know you were going out, i may have beable to stop by and video it.

Unsalted it weighs 2700lbs.

Steven: So far just wheelie bar adjustments have been made and dropping launch RPM, Being a chassis car there is little upward rise of frontend. I still need video to see what rear is doing. Bottom 4link bars are at lowest front position already. I really want a glide now, not only should it be faster, much less violent out of gate and easier to drive.

Orr: I told you in your post, you got alot of work to do on your own stuff
I may try to make wed with TA, not sure yet though.

good luck man, if that's on the motor then it's flyin

+1 on the glide, i just went to a glide in my car at 3200 lbs and i'm upset I didn't do it a long time ago

Thank You, Yes its on Motor..
What did the Glide do to your 60ft / 1320? What did you change from?


Orr: I don't think I will spray this one, would need a gear change If I do.
Will be taking 93 to track tomorrow Orr, Cut a bunch of timing from 4500-5500 to help traction, also extended limiter to 7200 so I can stay in 4th, and gonna keep spray on till 6800 I think Should pick up I hope, gonna drive her up, want to run in street lanes, but usually hook better with slick cars..

i can't really accurately gauge it for you since i changed out the converter at the same time (was blowing through pretty nicely when i had the th350 in it) but if you're still curious lemme know

Just dont get caught behind a FWD car and it should be somewhat ok if they prep it at all. FWD car goes thru and doesnt burn out well, then your launching on a wet track

I went to a glide last year in my GA. The 60fter was accually a little better and not near as violent. I went to the glide to get my rpm where I needed it, for the 1/8 mile. I'm running a 5.67 gear now and didn't want to go deeper. Starting line ratio was getting up there with the 350.
