My FIRST 1.5 60'
Took forever but I think the bigger headers freed up enough torque and I was able to rip off a 1.593 60' It was the only one of the day but I did have a 1.607 and a couple 1.611s on the same day.
I still want more but the first one sure feels good!!!
No new record ET's for me though due to the temperatures in Florida and a very strong headwind.
Interesting how my bests work out.
Best ET is in Etown
Best 60 is in Bradenton
Best MPH is in Long Island.

:cheers: I still think you car sits to high in the back. We need to try droping the rear a little more to help it bite better.
You may have a 1.4 in there somewhere! :thumbs: :steering:

I guess it's all relative. To the great ones (see posts above), you're just catching 'em. To us novices, that's totally awesome. :smash: :smash: Congrats. :thumbs:
