Got one pass in
Went to Beach Bend last night and finally got to make a pass launched soft 2000rpm on foot brake, shifted at 7400, and let off alittle early, not know what to expect with a new combination. Well I was surprised, 1.44 60', 10.03et @ 128mph. Not to bad for the first pass. However by the time I got back to my pits it blew out the gasket on the water pump and the temp was up to 240. Hope I didn't hurt anything. Will get it fixed and hopefully head to Beach Bend thursday.
Good thing I'm retired this has become a full time job.

W man that is great right out of the box. LOW 10 second and you let off early? Holy smokes.... Time to get that NHRA license man.
