Thanks Greg If i could match your 60 ft maybe a high 10.1, that's if the moon and the stars all align at the same time. Mick

Thanks Ted Just another thing worth mentioning, on one of my runs in the hotter part of the day, i switched my fan and water pump off during the run and with a slower et, it matched my best speed of the weekend, over 129. Mick

Fan off = ok, water pump off = not ok

Ok, maybe just fan in future, it only hit 180 at the end though. Mick

It was not without pain though, as i broke the nose off the starter, which is the second time now in 6 mths. I suspect it's the ring gear on the converter, when it was delivered, the box had been dropped and it had a flat on one side which i managed to pull out but there was also a slight bend the other way, which I think is causing a buckled wheel effect. Thanks Kevin, have pm'd you. Mick

with 408strokerdart I turn my fan OFF just before I pre stage. The water pump needs to be running to help eliminate any hot spots in the heads or block. Last time out with my car 60' results Best 1.389 Worst 1.417 Average (6 passes) 1.4065 Difference .028 over 3 days/nights Most of the inconsistency was the driver not staging the car the same That's what I get for being a keyboard racer
