I was pissed because I just got my best 60ft ever,a 1.62 and missed fourth gear and coasted through the traps with an 11.3 at 100MPH,if I didn't screw up I would've had my first ten second run.The rest of the night I spent spinning through the first three gears.Unfortunately the air got good and the track got slick.Now I know why I couldn't hook up the rest of the night,when I looked at my ET streets the cords had ripped right through the rubber,I had maybe 30 passes total from last year until now and the tires are shot.I ordered up a new set today from Shore Motorsports.

The good news is my car passed the decibel test,the tech guys saw me drive in and heard it idle and told me I was fine long as I had mufflers on it and drove it to the track.

The roll bar came out great,the car feels stiffer on the launch.The car definitely has the potential for a high 1.5 60 ft.

Anyways, next time at the track, you will hit 10's no doubt :cheers:

Re: [EVENT] 3/16/02 - E-Town (WS6 TransAm Girl)
I'll be happy with a 10.99,this motor was built for heavy nitrous use,up to 300HP shot,the cam,ring gap,added weight of the iron block,etc.Julio could've built me a more radical naturally aspirated set up.My goal is to go tens on motor,then I will hook up the spray,I'll start with a 100 shot and go up from there.Just for comparison,Nick Agostino told me there 9-second 422 C-5 runs 11.3-11.4 on motor,10.99 will do just fine for me.
