nice run.....chris is doing very well at 9.34....tell him George says hello.....sold him my tunnel ram off my hemi

I'll tell him.

 

[bobtile]

you want to go faster ....shift at 6800 rpms.....it will not hurt your motor

I'm pretty sure 6800 will be well out of my powerband. I was shifting at 5800 and was running slower. I have fairly stock heads on the car.

I'll be out at Lebanon Valley this Saturday for another race with NENDRA. No changes to the car this week and going to a new track for me. I would like to see If I can take another tenth off my time. 12.31 is my time to beat. I would be happy as poo if I could get to 12.20

I know you guys are on the edge of your collective seats waiting for me to post my numbers from this week, but it's raining so you have to wait another week.

I'd like to but at this point I don't know if I'll make it either day. I think I'll be working Saturday, and with so many things to do I just don't if I can get away Sunday either. I'll let you know by the end of the week.

So the race at Lebanon was rained out yesterday. I put my new firecore distributer in on Saturday. Recurved it and got it all dialed in. Took it out for a test run and it seemed more responsive on takeoff. Went to test n tune at the track today and posted my best e.t. and mph but a slow 60 ft, time. spun my wheels off the line. I went 12.24@ 113.10 with a 2.017 60 ft. Need to lower the air pressure I guess.

Getten' better Bobtile, installing the new/SSR converter, your shocks {already}, some fidgeting with tire pressures, all will help a ton too, did you ever decide on what carb & manifold ??
