Brent ran the 10.51 at 130mph with his Cartek 346cid heads and cam package back in November of 2003 
,but I'm sure he has the video somewhere . No offense to anyone in this thread , but a stroker is in a different class than a stock cube 346 , if Brent kept his stock bore and went with a 4.000 stroke( 382) he probably would have went 10.30's at the time . Nice times though for the above car , sick launch .

cool cuz we have not done that much suspension work and the car dose a double pump off the line and we were wondering if anyone else had the same problem or how they fixed it.
K and about gearing with a 4.10 diff. shift points at about 6900 we were still in third crossing the line but, we have a 98 and the computer in 97's and 98's is not fast enough to deal with those shift points and we ended up frying a computer and had to replace it. we dropped our shift points to 6400 and we still ran a 10.62 so we don't know what the change was cuz the weekend were at different tracks. we know going in to forth has to hurt us but we just don't know how much right now. so to fix this problem we have to change the computer and al wire harnesses.
yea and he does not have the same motor so he's not in the same class even thow he is faster. haven't seen the video but hape some one will be able to help us with the launch cuz about every thing else is done...............for now at least. i know talk is talk but i'm pretty sure she has a little more in her.
Damn that is a pretty launch.....squat n' Go

Heres the video link. I tried raising the shift points by 100 and found myself on the limiter on every shift.( may have lost a tenth)
Timeslip:
1.436
4.371
6.78@103.4mph
8.81
10.61@130.3mph.

In my 97' I have hit the RL about 100 feet before the stripe in the past, put it in OD and could say I have never lost more than 1/2 of a 1/10th I also have a Rossler...........works great.
