hahhahahaaha.. awesome run, Tim
Well this is a perfect example of why I like having a trailer. Things happen at the track to quick cars...guess thats why you don't need one.

Thanks Loyd and everyone else.

Actually, Kraest, you'll have to start out in 3rd because the 2-3 shift doesn't go too well for you either! [/smack talk off]

The only thing faster than that is a proshifted or an auto.

Awesome Tim. Congrats!

How "far" do you plan to go with the current setup? In other words, when do you plan on making changes? ET goal, 'Til it breaks, etc...?

If the little "change" I have sitting on my bench works out like we hope I will do some things this summer and go for a 9 sec. 6 speed lt1 NA pass. Dont' know if I will be able to make it but would be running NA untill next season when the good air comes back. I'm all about personal goals and if I think I have a shot at it I will go for it. Then it will be time to stop messing around with a pump gas motor and try to go fast.

While it gets old hearing slow guys tell you what to do, we'd all love to see you continue to push the envelope for 6spds/LT1 heads. I was pulling for you at No Problem when you were running Quinn .

I assume you've got a single plane sitting around somewhere? Are you still running the crane lifters?

Ok, no more question...I'll just lurk .

Re: New best, 355 6 speed NA..10.39

LOL..the mighty QUINN kicked my little 6 speed butt...but thanks for the support.


I never get tired of hearing peoples opinion. It keeps me thinking. I do get tired of 14 sec. drivers that have never had a fast car telling me what I did wrong or what I need to do to go fast..lol.

You assume right on the intake and I'm running Jesel SS shaft mounts now.

No need to lurk, if you have something to ask just spit it out..lol

We should get together and compare notes on the single plane install.
