Thumbs up Hey threadedtire, we got ya :) almost made it to the 10 sec motor club

11.01 @ 123.19mph, 1.52 60' beat that

11.080 @123.69mph, and another 11.087 @ 122.60mph

first round of elims i broke the adjuster on the torque arm, unfortunately the 28" et drag became a 28" et street....... the rear axle shifted on me and well i am sure you can figure out the rest.
i'll have it fixed up soon enough!

thanks to Roman, Rob, and Steve for all of help today oh and of course the wife congrats to Loots99TA for winning the Toronto F body meet, and Penthos for finishing 2nd!

no spray today my electric fuel pump took a dump last week, so we swapped all of the plugs, in like 20 minutes

and yes i had to make my own topic

Darn, we went 11.14 @ 119 tonight. Were coming soon Good luck. We still have to spray the car and hopefully it runs close to what your doing. Are you running a seperate fuel system for the NOS. Also, are you using a progressive controller

congrats on the new p.b. ! yes and no to both of your questions, progressive controllers are hard on solenoids. imo.

I believe the tire is a 275 60 15 We got a real nice setup in the back, we found the radials work best at 16 psi 190* with 8* pinion angle and the QA1 rears set at 8 out from stiff. Its bein real consistent to wich is surprising. Its all good

Great job Taner. Way to represent us M6 boys. It looks like my quest for 10's on the motor has ended for this year. Last week I broke the output shaft on the trans and I have no time to fix it before the end of the year.

That plus, I just bought a 125" Spitzer altered with a small block yesterday so I will be spending the rest of the year getting my comp licence and making passes in that car.
