Default 800 mile report....

....this car halls. :yesnod: Did some "scientific" testing on the "Canadian Test Track" with a fellow forum member today that has a damn fast car bordering on the 11s N/A. Probably would be 11s if he could get some more traction. I was pleased with what took place. Can't wait to get her tuned up. :)

That is great news! 800 miles you don't mess around. You have to get a little clip together I am dying to hear how that cam sound with you exhaust set up. I have the same cam but I am running my stock 85 manifolds on my D- port heads :lol: Nothing matches up. I wonder how much power I am killing running it like that.

Going to wednesday. It will be ugly. I'll be on street tires. The car still needs major tuning as it is running REALLY rich.

I had 300 miles on it when you guys left, that was definitely not enough to soothe my worries at the time.

My money is on a 12.5 - 12.7 If you can hook as it stands, I hope I'm wrong I'd like to see you run a 11.9 :D

I'd be very pleased with your guess as it stands now. Although it might take getting the damn thing to hook & launch at 3000. There are no ***** below that. :) Remind me to check out my left side u-joints, I thoguht I might of heard one click once today.
