Great to see this car back up and working.

Can you post oaken pics for the members that haven't seen the setup ( and for the guys like me that just like seeing it)?

You are right can't beat the benefits of E85 with its price tag LOL

My car is down for parachute and front end repair after hitting wall : ( and a couple changes currently but its great and damage wasn't too bad so it'll be back out soon. I run mostly 1/8 as there aren't many 1/4 tracks around. That's why I asked about the 660' time. My E.T.'s are right with yours so I feel sure mine will go 8.7's the way it sits. I went a 5.62 and 5.64 @125 last outing, I decided to try the left lane which wasn't nearly as good (spun bad and turned into wall). You will love the 15" radial pros I'm sure, I 60' in the .20's consistently

Sorry to hear about the damage . Hope you get back out soon ! What wheels do you run ? Do the front wheels stick out of the fenderwell or sit flush ? Are you running a powerglide or turbo-400 ? Your car should go 8.70s easy . I would love to pull a 1.29 60ft .

I run the billet specialties street lites. I have drag brakes on the front so I can run a 15" wheel. They sit pretty much flush with the front fenders. I'm running a powerglide trans but still drive it in the street regularly. I wanted to keep the car as light as possible, currently 3300 w/ me. My best 60' is a 1.26, I'm sure yours will do it on the 15" radial pros.

I would kill for a 3300lb race weight with driver , lol . My car is heavy and so am I . But it is what it is . How do those drag brakes stop on the street/highways ? I've thought about putting them on but I'm a little hesitant with the weight of my car .

I feel the stopping power of the brakes is plenty strong, they work quite well IMO. They do wear a little fast so if doing a LOT of street driving you would just want to keep check on the pads regularly.
