New best, 355 6 speed NA..10.39

Went to give it another shot tonight to see if the new oil pan with all the oil control stuff worked like people said it would. I had tightened up the front shocks from my 10.49 run in an attempt to keep the front end down...wheelies are cool but they are waisted et. Anyway, burnout didn't go to well and went sideways so had to role out of it sonner then I would have liked. Staged and brought up the revs to 6200 on the two step and let her rip. I felt it struggle for traction, pick the wheels up about 6" and carry em out some then bit and bogged. Car ran out well and I noticed that on top the rpms were really screaming and I crossed the light right as I hit my limiter. I knew the mph had to be good as I was turning more than on my 130 mph runs but thought the launch would hurt my et. got the slip and was shocked to see a new best of 10.39 @ 131.6 with a 1.42 60'(also new best). I did notice that my 1/8th mile was down 2 mph from my 10.49 @ 130 run so I knew it had more in it. But...glanced at the oil preasure and it was sitting at 0. I shut it down and had this problem a few weeks ago but it came back. I'm thinking sending unit but didn't want to chance it so it went on the trailer. I know the car had at least .5 mph and .05 et in it since I always go faster after my first run to shake off the cob webs. Plus I know the car had more in the 60'. Oh well..thats all speculation.

Here is the full slip

60' 1.42
330 4.29
1/8 6.665
mph 103.71
1000 8.68
1/4 10.39
mph 131.65

Compaired to my other run

60 1.437
1/8 6.710 @ 105.74
1/4 10.494 @ 130.4

Anyway...new best for me with more left in it. All on pump gas and a 6 speed..heheheh.
