TA 1/8th mile results
Best pass was more than i expected. Was looking for a 7.8, got a 7.7. Could not be happier with the used high mileage parts. She has more in her with tuning im sure. The wide band was not on the car, so i went blind with the holley 750 i got off Ebay and went 74P 80 sec and the power valve is throwing too much fuel at her from what i can tell being a 6.5. Also still has the 6.0 tun on the ignition.
Was a dang good night considering the hour plus wait for the second pass from a dodge making a mess on the track.

12.1-12.2 or so. Pretty sure it could do high 11s with a loose converter and tuning. I have not tuned the car at all. Just been driving it. Lol

Re: TA 1/8th mile results
Yea, wish you were dead hooking, would like to have seen how it did.
If the TA was as light as your car Matt, I wondering how much more it would have in it on top of tuning and a converter that would flash higher. I thought I may be at 3300 with the AC gone and a glass hood. But then I remember that I probably added more than what I lost with sub frames, bracing for the Trans, 4L80, 12 bolt. That heavy duty stuff adds up quick.
