Over the winter i added and FLP level 4 tranny with 4200 stall yank converter, stage 2 heads, ET drags )instead of ET street) and a line lock. ALL runs were NA because i didnt find out my bottle was empty til i got there
First run i get: 1.60 sixty
7.41 1/8
92.39 mph
11.69 1/4
115.38 mph

i thought ok decent since its my first run in a year. should only get better with a harder launch right? LOL
Second run launch is real hard, wheels come off and when i hit the dash lights flash and i lose gas, but repress the pedal and im moving again, so i just drove at 50 mph down there lol. ILL EXPLAIN THAT LATER.

Third and Fourth run i blew the coolant level sesnor off the radiator and still ran 11.7x's
Finally fixed the metal clip to keep from popping off.

Then i get a couple more 11.7x's in. I couldnt launch greater than 2500 rpm's with a 4200 stall, it would pull forward, WHATS UP WITH THAT?

Then the lights flashed and gas cutoff again. found out that when i was getting real hard launches and BOTH wheels come up that my battery was rotating towards me and contacting the frame shorting it out so i ended up strapping it down.

Next run i used the SHORT BELT. Didnt help my times any and when i got back to the pits i notcied OIL running down the front side of the passenger head Im thinking its my INTAKE GASKET??? Could this be what is causing me to hurt on the top end, i was thinking i should run much better?

Made one more run with an 11.8x pissed me off so i left LOL

Traction was OK. felt i could do a better 60' if i could launch higher but it wont let me get that high in rpm's. burnouts were great with the line lock. sorry NO VIDS OR PICS as i forgot the camera at the house LOL.

Help/comments?

what ya think ill run with a 100 shot? or so
