Default New Autofab at work
Went last sunday night to an 1/8mile track and ran a 6:30 on motor and got all the bugs worked out of the suspension. Here's a link of the run and see what y'all think.

Nice! Whatcha running for the motor & what would 6.3 equate to in 1/4 mile times.

The motor is a 427 SB. I have ran a 9.98 @135.00 but mostly run 1/8 its the closest track to home .
