I`m doing nothing more than leaving at 3500 rpm`s on the first pass and going from there.

tj, I race it like I drive it on the street so slicks are out of the question at this point(new rims and tires) and it is set up for the 1/4 mile I`m just playing here for now then I`ll get my 9-sec pass at fontucky soon hopefully.


i do understand

I did play w/shift points last time out and ended up shifting between 6500-6700 instead of the previous 6800-7000 and it went quicker/faster but, I also made other changes so, . I was real bad about making too many changes at once but now it`s one at a time and I have a game plan and a 6.20 110 mph goal. I`m pretty sure I`m a bit tamer than those crazy guys but, then again you never know.

In addition to only one change at a time I like to make two or more passes after each change.

Hey Dom you should have towed it out to the Strip last weekend for the PSCA test-n-tune. There were less than a hundred cars in the place and you could have hot lapped till your tires blew. We made many passes with the Mustang.

Weekends are hard for me Bob cos I`m usually playing drums w/one of my bands but that sounds cool except for the fact that I need a liscense since I`m way under the et cut off. This is my last 1/8th mile attempt then it`s back to fontucky for my 9-sec pass then eighter I step up legally or drive it till it dies and enjoy all of my efforts and help from you guys to achieve my goals.
