Arrow Got FIRST 1.4 sixty time...

... a 1.487 to be exact. I think I am starting to become a MEDIUM sized dog now!!

Car was SUPER inconsistant this weekend and not due to traction as I had added about 100#'s of weight to assure good hook all the time.

Hot Rod Hawk came up with a few things:

1) Car is making a pass in OPEN loop one time and CLOSED loop another, back and forth.

2) Fuel pressure a little too low.

3) Start car about 4-5 cars before my turn to burnout to assure car has gone to open loop.

FINALLY KNOCKING on that tree too as learning where on the bulbs the car wanna go.

Waddayaall think? Peace!

Well it ain't no funny car @11.8X's... so it has to be number 2!

1" addco swaybar, BMR LCR's, street TA and LCA's.
4.10, A4 with a 4100 converter with a 75 shot hitting at 4100 rpm. No front swaybar and holes in front shocks, aka no fluid in them. 10" Hooser D-5's on 10' Weld wheels. Original factory 7-5/8" rearend with open carrirer and welded spiders.

I know its not a WORLD RECORD but I see so may guys who can't cut much better than a high 1.9X sixty. What a 1.4X sixty means is I would walk them in the first sixty feet like a Pro/Stocker would walk me.

It's just to give some hope to guyz that if you work long and hard enough, you can get these things to sixty pretty good!
Everyone who see's my car leave says it pretty vicious, at least for a 1.4X car!!
