car left crooked on launch and I over corrected now I know hopw im[portant having someone line you up is....anyway that pass would had definately been a low 9.50 if not a high 9.40 pass
still footbrake so i still have the t-brake venture to tackle and put
the puzzle together in one package
biggest key today timing above 6k 1* more up top and it showed everywhere...So looks like I'm going the right way ..anyone curious runs today was at 33.5* total timing ...playing it safe so I'm making small changes

Joe looks like 9.40's are in the bag unless the weather gets bad quick huh? Now I finally got my springs and my heads are together and should have some new bests this week myself. Why you only get three passes in when you go? None the less way to represent us LT1 folk. later Joe "The LT1 God"!

my local track here runs IHRA points and you only get 2 test sessions and then its dial in for eliminations i usually dial to close and break out here lately .... Breaking out is a victory to me these days I go home just as happy 
Congrats! 
Wish we had weather like that in MO.

That's just amazing. Are you still running a stock LT1 PCM or did you switch to an aftermarket setup?
A comment you made on another board about how you tune, has me very curious. What you're doing seems to be working.

Like I say Joe keeps raising that bar and going faster and faster, it'll hit a 9.4 I'm sure and then go some more. Joes just proving how capable these old LT1s are when a great many have jumped on that ls1 band wagon. Joe you think its possible to take one of these cars in to the bottom 9s NA?
