New personal best.
Last week I decided to give it another shot out at Firebird International and ran some new bests.
First and second runs were 13.52 and 13.56. On the last pass of the night I upped the shift points to 5600 rpm and clocked a 13.49 @ 98.3 Mph. Also I finally broke into 1.8x 60 ft times. I think 1.85 was the best for the night. Eighth mile times hovered at 8.55 seconds. Now its time to go larger on camshaft and see what happens.

I have so much done to it... I tried to get video but the damn camera wouldn't function. But I found the slip:
R/T .143
60' 1.891 ( Wasn't the best one I have had )
330' 5.511
1/8 8.551
MPH 80.52
1000' 11.208
1/4 13.493
MPH 98.33

I run on some used 30x9 goodyear slicks.. my district manager races in NHRA events with his nova so he sold them to me dirt cheap and i put them on old wheels. I tried to run on BF Goodrich drag radials i bought years ago but its like racing on my street tires.. no grip whatsoever.. i would have to roll into it off the line.. i think they're 26.5" tall but 10.5 wide. too bad it weighs so much..
