New times with Vortech

Installed SQ Trim early last week and made it to the track today:

First pass was an easy one - 3/4 throttle just to make sure that it would hold - blew the pcv vent tube off of the pass valve cover and dumped about a quart of oil onto the header HUGE smoke screen. Took about 3 hours to fix cause we had to run out to the part store which is a good distance out - anyhow - got it fixed.

Next run was a full on run in eliminations - dialed in at 12.00 ??? Had no clue so:

RT: .580
60: 1.763
330: 4.904
1/8: 7.503
MPH: 94.98
1000: 9.677
1/4: 11.623
MPH: 121.47

Followed this up with 2 hotlapped runs of 11.88 & 11.70

Pretty good day since I was able to still drive the car home. At our other track that would run around 11.30's @ 124 or so.

Need a rear and suspension work to launch effectively.

GREAT job, glad it held together so well. Now you need some QA1 and a cage.
