Well, after a little of this and a little of that. A tweak here and tweak there I've inched a little closer to the goal. New Personal Best for me at 10.47 in not so good air. Got to get the 60' ft time down more and I know I'll shave about 3 tenths off. Many thanks to Rob Z, Tommy and Troy and Gary from the Anger Management team for their help. I think it will stay a stick.............for now.

10.47 with only 130mph is pretty impressive!

Rob, yep we'll just keep working with it. The next rental I'll get it (et) down another tenth or 2 I think. I just need to get the 60' time down. A 1.44 would get me close. Whats the record for a Stick Supercharged car?

What you need is a track rental. Practice Practice Practice.

Sweet run bro!
The camera is never quite as good as being there.
You know that crack on the head with the impact driver cost you a few tenths.

Looking forward to the next rental and some better times and more seat time.
I'm hoping to get my 11.2 street tire pass uploaded. Not sure how to make that work with Vista 64 bit, but I'm looking into it.
Thanks again for your help down there. It was good to see you as always.

Tom,
You looked great out there. Your shifting was superb. You kept it in the groove after that wiggle on the launch. Great driving.

With a good air day and a well prepped track we might be able to shave off a few tenths. I'll have to keep an eye on the weather.



It could be raining bottles.........

1.50, so there is more in there. Spun the wheels 60' or more.

I could never understand that statement. Double clutching you mainly did while driving a truck, since the transmissions were balky or un-synchronized. Double clutch in a drag race you're gonna lose every time. Powershifiting is what you want to do if you can do it effectively, eventhough its brutal on the transmission and components.

Thanks.

I checked the link it still works for me. Here's a new link, I uploaded it again.

Sometimes you have to click on where it says video not available to bring it up. I have to find a better place to post it to.

Pit-Man to answer your question, I really don't know what the HP is presently. I run a P1SC-1 at about 8.5lbs of boost on a 346 non-forged bottom end with ARP bolts. Its hard to say what the HP is exactly, best guess would 600 to 650. Haven't had the car dyno'ed in about 2 years.
