New Best

Changed a few things in my setup and got some good air tonight and it made for a whole lot of fun. The new times are in the sig, and it is a blast to leave the line with the front wheels chest high.

I got some pics, but they don't show the full extent of the launch. A couple of my buddies said they could see the cowl hood from behind the car, all I can say is it was a rush like no drug can give you. I plan on getting some video this weekend and see if I can get it posted up.

That thing is really moving. 1.32 on the rear tires is awesome.

Congrats

Thanks Marshall, but I hurt the motor a few weeks later, so now I'm trying to decide what the new setup is going to be, hopefully faster.

My money isn't what I'd like it to be, who's is right now anyway, but as bad as I want to stay fuel injected it looks like I'm going to build a Gen 1 SBC 383 and put a carb on it for right now. The other reasons for the move is that a friend of mine that is helping me build this motor is giving me alot of parts that he had to help me out. I wil be running AI's trickflow 215's on this motor, Ron and Phil really helped me out, and hopefully down the road I can get the money together to put efi on this motor and then alvin can tune it.

Cool. Definitely cheaper to go fast with a SBC!
