New best 60' at least with rollbar!

Well I finally decided to put a 6 point rollbar in my car after getting told I couldn't run that fast with no bar a couple too many times. I went out with a new pair of 325/50/15 ET street radials and ran into a couple problems, one being one of my stock fans quit, burnt the fuse, so the car got to 200+degrees. So while fixing that problem and cooling the car down I must have wet the da*mn optispark so the car was acting up. Finally I got it running decent and sprayed it to a 1.41 60' on Drag radials! Still with the stock torquearm, panhard rod, rear shocks and all. Well it lifted both front tires and when I shifted to second it started cutting out so I let off for a second then got back in it and it missed a little but still ran 130mph out the back. Here is what the slip looked like:
60'_1.41
1/8_ 6.65@103.2mph
1/4_10.33@130mph
It wasn't the best run but I plan on pulling the distributor and may go with a coil per cylinder setup but haven't decided yet. Later Clint

Enjoyed reading the article in GMTHP about your car. Its amazing what you 've done with stock suspension and torque arm. Looks like you made the best of a bad day in the end.

My car only put down 375rwhp N/A and 510rwhp on 200NX but the converter was on it's way out and has since been rebuilt and tightened up. It is no dyno queen buit always runs pretty quick. Thanks for the compliments guys. Later
