New best ET
Last night I ran my car. The DA was 5400 ft, which is really good for us. It will go up tp 8500+ ft in the summer. My first run was 10.84@130.77 w/1.60/60. The next run was 10.80@130.64 w/1.57/60. And my last run was 10.77@130.94 w/1.58/60. I am now spraying a 150 shot... thats one way to make your car go fast with no air. Our track correction numbers are for 4400 ft (which we never see) would be.9458 and the mph correction is 1.0577.Sealevel corrected that equals 10.18@138.49.

Re: New best ET (Corvette0096)
Great times. I would love to see that car run here at out track. 500 feet above see level
Great numbers. I guess you got last week's fuel problem taken care of. Ain't AIR great? Last week, I had three of four runs in a row, set new personal bests for my car, at home. Right now, I'm only 1 & 1/2 tenths off my all time, sea level, best. I think I'll remove the air filter element, tomorrow night, and go for IT. That alone, is usually good for almost a tenth.
Again, congrats. You've really got that thing cooking!
RACE ON!!!

PS- I'm guessing your driveline is holding up just fine, even under the stick!

Re: New best ET (thetoy)
By the time I got it dialed in on motor... the DA was between 8000-8500 ft, and it was running 11.80's. I tried to correct that DA to sealevel. It was 10.88 at about 128. I have never run it in what we would consider good air up here on motor.
