mixed emotions
I have mixed emotions now that the last challenge is over. My car went the best it ever has. 9.97 @ 134. Thats foot breaking it. If it was trans braked it would have been a low 9.90 for sure. I've been looking forward for my first 9 second pass for the last couple of years with this motor. Its only a pump gas 383. It was a high for me. So my car did its best at the end of the season. I, on the other hand for the last two events couldnt cut a good consisted light. I dont know what happened. LOL !! It was a little downer. I did finish in the top 10 for my first year which it a great achievement which I am proud of. I've had fun all season, met a lot of nice guys and am looking forward to next season. I will be attending the top 16 and hopefully not donating my share of the pot. Thanks to everyone.

Congrats Vinny! Mixed emotions? You need a psychologist. Hope it's not the water in Massapequa Park! I'll switch places with you. You did a great job in your rookie year. Congrats! I just wish I can get a 9 second time slip before the season is over. At another track and not E-town.

Vinny, that's a good running combination......almost too good. I had to try to model it in my simulators, and to my surprise it was almost dead on, however i don't think it has the incrementals correct. Can you post the incrementals of one of your 10.0 runs?

I forget what stall you told me you had, so assumed 5500...and 2800# with you in it. 4.10 gears and a guide. Assumed cam as solid roller 256/264 on a 110 LSA w//.600 lift 11:1 CR.
It came up with 500 ftlbs @ 5600; 545hp @ 6300. Simulated run showed:
60 - 1.40
330 - 4.02
660 - 6.30 @ 108
1000 - 8.30
1320 - 10.05 @ 125 (i don't get the MPH.....it's usually too generous and 125 is too low)
