I went a 6.605 at the first of Jan at a notorious slow track, so I'm hoping to get into the 6.50's.

Randy,

Did the powerglide slow your 60? What were you doing before? (I thought it was lower 1.3s?) How do you like the single shift and the switch?

Improve that 60ft time and you have a mid 12 second car.

tranny wouldn't up shift from 1st to 2nd with new 9 1/2 vig. 60 foot improved from 1.93 to a 1.73. Previous best was a 7.71 with a 1.79 shot foot. Then the fun begins with new motor

My best pass with the th350 was a 1.37 60ft 6.68 @ 100.5 mph in 40 deg weather, but with the PG I've run 1.39 60ft 6.60 @ 101 mph in 65 deg weather. As for the switch it was real simple, it didn't take but a couple of passes to get comfortable and it's a whole lot less dramatic off the line. I also believe that the consistentency is better, I ran 7 straight passes with a 60ft ranging from 1.407 to 1.403, that's how you keep a comsistent et.
