New best 60' time
I got a new best 60' time of 1.326 at Carolina Dragway. I am still having vavle train issues so the overall ET and especially the mph is not there yet. I ran 10.001@133.42, 10.061@132.43, 10.015@132.66 and 10.020@135.21. Last time I ran there in similar conditions I was running 9.94-9.97 at 135-137 with 1.340-1.347 60' times, so the fact that I am losing power above 5800 rpms is really affecting the top end speed. I will get it figured out soon though.

It's interesting that you mention that. I have noticed that the day after I get home from the track, sometimes I do have a stiff neck. I know one thing for sure, the first pass that I made the other night was a 1.330 in 60' and I don't think that my eyes could have been anymore open. I'm sure that I looked like I had seen a ghost.

Great job. 
I can't wait to see what it will run with everything fixed.

Keith, I think that the pushrods helped but I apparently have other problems as well. I might be talked into coming to florida sometime. I know several of my friends have always wanted to race down there so maybe if I get my car working properly we can take a road trip over the winter. Which tracks are the best to run at in gator country?

I just changed my springs! I guess a 100 runs is to many for them.I was down to 150 psi on the springs.I went with the Howard 740's and she runs like a new car.
Wear your collar and you will feel a differance.
I reset mine to have 60 thou from coil bind and It realy made a differance ,it brought the temp down 25 degrees
It also took care of the RPM problem,now I can take it up until she blows.
