new personal best at the track

Here the important numbers.

60 ft 2.103 <---- best for me
1/4 14.5@95 mph

I am actually less modded then before, W/A injection is out awaiting someone to buy it. It was a mixture of good air and good shifting. The 1-2 shift gets me almos every time with this car. If I had a shift light I think I could pick up another 1-2 tenths.

got the revs to about 3,000 rpms, slipped it out until I felt the tires bite then I dropped the pedal to the floor.

okay i'm still interested in that kit but you just said you ran your personal best without it.... if you ran faster without than you did with it then is there really any point?

he also said track conditions were better, and to think just because you have more power, doesn't mean you'll run faster. drag racing is mostly driver...

BTW: nice times man!

that 2.103 60 is so close to getting a 2.0, I just need a little more practice.

better driving more than better conditions. Couple my best 60 ft time with getting the 1-2 shift down and you have my times.
