Another update.... the car ran at Atco NJ last weekend (5/21-23) in the PRO/Edelbrock Hot Rod & Musclecar Nationals, Xtreme Street class. Qualified 8th in a field of 16 cars with a 8.828@158.41 MPH. Heat was stifling mid-90's, and humidity was similar. Car just wasn't making the power he expected. The car did pull a new best of 1.31 60-ft during qualifications.

Won the first round of eliminations with a 0.093 light, 1.3X 60-ft, 8.87 @ 156.86. Came out second best in the second round with an 0.079 light, 1.3X 60-ft, 8.887@156.28.

The class winner was Tony Orts 68 Firebird 400, with a 8.507@161.79. Top qualifier was Frrank Mewshaws 88 Camaro 377 with an 8.44@166.17. The nitrous cars really seemed to have the advantage with the high temperature and humidity.

Time for a little more test & tune before the ls1tech.com North vs. South in June.

Solid times for the conditions, and it sounds pretty consistant. Are you coming to N. vs S.? It would be nice to meet you after all these years
