New Best

Weather has been real bad. We still got out to Dragway 42 on Wed. night. New best for the "Land Yacht" 355 with LE2 Heads/Cam NA. Lloyd does great work. Looking forward to better weather. Car weighs 4,300,3400 Edge,3.73 gears.

Re: New Best

Too bad you red lit. Your opponent broke out.

I've never seen a time slip to ten thousands of a second in every time increment. Only in a MOV line.

Re: New Best

That's real impressive for such a heavy car. You're not much slower than my car and I have an almost 800lb advantage. What size cam are you running?

Re: New Best

It's an LE2 cam - B body version.


I could tell you - but then I'd get killed by Lloyd and Brett

Re: New Best

Thanks. The cam's a special grind for the B body. Best of both worlds,low end and top trap speed. The set up is still very new. Plan on running some lighter oil in it after this weekend. Had a small increase in the 60' and Et this past weekend. Still can't wait for a good track prep. I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Lloyd's work and customer service. The car is doing more than I could ask for.
