thanks guys, I only got 3 passes 3 more to go. first pass I left off the foot brake and was going to take it easy, short shifted and backed out early and ran9.83@137 and that was suppose to be a half pass
so the next 2 I slowed it down.

Why did you have to renew? expired? upgrade? switch from IHRA to NHRA?

Quote:No doubt a PG would work good in that car. But you can put an A&A 2.28 gear set (22753H4AT) in a 727 for about $700. That might be all you need. The helical gear set is affordable, the straight cut sets are around $2,000. Converting to a PG will cost ~$3,000. Trans, converter, shield, driveshaft, shifter, crossmember/mount, etc.Quote:

the glide is sorta boring.. but IF you have a spinning

I have a question about the license passes.
Will I have to make 6 passes to get my license? I have never had one.
Congrats on the new ride.

Tony my car with a 727 is deadly consistent... I
havent ever lost due to the trans... driver error...
YES.. most of the times I lost I went red... a few
times was on the top end(but not many)... and its
a bracket car

Re: License pass - 02/04/13 11:21 AM
huge difference between what will get down the track and win a bracket race. this thing is pretty violent off the line. it lifts the wheels out of the beams which is good for super class racing not so good for bracket racing. the track will not be consistent as the night goes on around here so it will make things difficult to repeat I think.this thing has to be pointed perfect every time just something else to worry about trying to race. I'll get it sorted out with time.the less events you have to deal with bracket racing the better off you are imo.

well I could care less if it's boring or not.you don't need the wheels 4ft in the air to go fast or consistent.it's just a matter of making it work and win races imo. I don't care about putting on a show I want win lights.

Re: License pass - 02/05/13 01:57 AM
going red is one of the problems.
So what class you gonna race.. box or no/box... in
box it doesnt matter as long as you dont spin...
you can do things to the car to change the launch
that cost way less than a trans, conv and drive shaft

No Tony, I don't remember. There might be a tag on the spring with the rate on it. I don't know if it has enough motor for a taller gear.
