Great to hear it! I knew you would get it sooner or later. Sorry we didn't get together this year. See you in the spring. Now I'll have to figure out how to make the Dartsport go faster to keep up with you.




More cubes, compression, and camshaft, that will get you there Dave.
We'd actually be a very good race right now, you would have went 9.80's in that air Sunday. We need to get that on video in the spring!

Yea I knew Rick was there that's why I didn't call ya, I knew he'd relay the messages.

Here's a nice Hemi Cuda that was there. He was running 13 hundredths quicker than me but hasn't raced for several years, said it dyno'd at 850HP.

Thanks Jim, it felt like a truck was lifted off my shoulders when I got that 1st time slip, the rest of the day was just fun.

Glad to hear about your day Bob.... how many revs
were you pulling on the top end... if you advance the
cam some you could pick up some torque which in turn
could help the converter.... good job

Way to go! Sucks working out the bugs sometimes, but your hard work is paying off in the single digits! Just curious, how much compression are you running with pump gas?

Mike the converter seems to be working perfectly now, with 5% or less in slip.
I'm shifting at 6600 and trapping at 6900 which is right where I want it, I like to trap 300RPM over the best shift point.

Thanks N20mstr, it's running good finally so now I'm gonna start having fun with the car. Did you just mention NAWS?

Thanks Fran and Rob, hope to race with ya next summer.

Tony, I'm right at 12 to 1 or a hair less. The cam bleeds off compression, I only get 150 cranking compression. A custom cam would be quicker but I'd need to switch to E85, can't afford the $7 per gallon stuff.
