Finally after all the problems and outright bad luck I finally made a good pass. 12.87 @ 106. This was in 90 deg./70% hum. weather with 3.08 gears. Not a bad base line! Time to install the 3.73's and then SPRAY IT!! This is the car:

Thanks Guys. The mufflers are 3" Spintechs. These things sound AWESOME! If anyone can tell me how to make a sound file I can post one. I have the car on video but, I dont know how to get it on my computer. Polecat I am hoping for low 11's maybe in "Ideal" conditions a 10.999 would be nice.

 

10.99, then you'd want a 10.8....

Good job! Nice pics.

I remember my baseline runs. Fun but made me anticipate my new rear gears and tires getting installed way toooo much. LOL

I can't wait till my Chevelle is running mid 12's. Should be next month.

Again....good job!...Heavy
