New Best Time!!
Well, I just got back from the track and I've got some new bragin rights. The car just went 12.0 @ 113 with a 1.74 60" on 285 Nitto 555's(no R). 0.4 seconds better than my previous best with a 1.89 60' from last year.
I changed my 2.59 to a 3.45 rear end and added a 2500 stall up from 1500. I was really traction limited I had to preload the converter to give it less umph off of the line to keep the tires to the ground. I also added a new computer tune done by me just guessing and I know there's room for improvement there. I can't wait to turn the NOS on :D
