Thinking about taking my junk out one more time before it gets too hot so is anyone else interested in an 1/8th mile boogie?

While I cant join the 1/8 mile boogie, I will be interested in your results. Right now I only have to beat a what 9.79 or so? I want to see if that changes.

Almost sure we`re goin and my goal is a 6.10 which may or may not be doable so I`m going to make some small hits and hopefully get my 60`s back in the 1.36 range then let er rip............. Still on my old tires though...........

You have that car dialed in pretty well, so increases will be minor and effected by the current temp, humidity and barometric pressure or what other racers refer to as DA.

As I recall the last time out, the weight loss thing didnt go as projected, because of a bad hook.

The new change is the carb fix. So combined with the weight loss and the carb fix, if you have a great DA, and a Hook with your old tires, you might get your 6.10 I know you have the skills.

Correct me if Im wrong on any of the above, just going by memory, thats getting shorter and shorter.

When I went 6.20 at 111.17 it was during the day at 85+ degrees and a 1.42 60 which is a bit off of my 1.36 60 ft. It should be cooler and I`ve changed shock angles, went to sliders, added 2nd batt. back and it`s tuned pretty good so we`ll soon see............
