Thumbs up

Congrats on the new times!!! Now get that car to dead hook and drop that 60'. With heads, cam, & a converter 1.5 60' times should be easy for you, even on BFG DRs. Get a set of LCA relocation brackets to start with. Also I'd STRONGLY advise some subframes so you don't tweak the chassis like I did when I started cutting 60's in the 1.6 range consistently.

Jilly, I run at music city raceway, and sometimes at beech bend raceway in bowling green. Good luck on racing for the first time

SAR2K, I think I will do subframes next. That's something I've wanted to do for a while. Which ones do you have?

Mods are in the sig. Heads, cam, converter and tune picked me up .82 in the 1/8 Note the track that I was on ispretty slow.When I go to beech bend raceway in bowling green(1/4) my eighth mile times are usually .2-.3 and almost a whole mph more, given similar weather conditions.
