It sounds like you have a solid 10.0 car there when you get that thing to 60'. Good job getting it out.

I would imagine that you should be in the 1.35 60 foot range. Maybe faster depending on the trans/converter you have. 10.53 @ 125mph. 1.37 60 foot. Caltracs and Monoleafs, AFCO shocks.

I agree 1.35 should be a goal, and then chip away at it. You have enough HP to run 9's all day. Glad you finally got to run it!!!! Brian Brian Hafliger
