Damn good 60 foots for your times..well if you ask me at least..try launching at a higher RPM..I bet you don't have too much a of a traction problem with a L03. Don't feel bad..my first run I got like a 15.4..I gained half a second by shifting faster and launching better. you very well could have a 15 second car my friend..good luck dude

Steve,

Looks like Brenda has to go down under again at the end of January and of course, I will tag along again . Just not sure yet if it will be Sydney again or New Zealand. I will let you know more as I find out.

I'll help you with that big block swap (out of the 17's and into the 12's or 11's) if you help me get a 3.45 9 bolt gear set and install kit back to the US

If you get a chance, I put some more pictures up of my car (in the process of being painted) and of the Cuda we have been running this year. I will have more pictures next week too.

Say hi to Carole and the kids.

mate i do not mind hunting up a gear set for you
that will be easy for me to do ...i believe i can even get 3.9 if you want(will look into it if need be for you )
still trying with my gear man to find out when the hell he will get his webb site up and running ...is taking forever
i didnt think that i would breack any speed records but thought it would go high 15,s
btw big block is a little to big a project for me ...have a 350 in the works with vette heads and have tpi in the garage for it
maybe make it a high 13 sec car
btw miles
carole said to say hi to brenda and you

I think your trap speed is a bit low. When I was running low 16s my trap speed was 84mph and 87mph when I was in the mid to high 15s.
