Well, it appears as though we have some very accurate guessers(but I suspect crizila "cheated"). The best I got was a 7.65 @ 96 eighth mile and a 11.71 @121.32 m.p.h. quarter. The first mistake I made was deciding to ice the intercooler tank. LEAN,LEAN,LEAN. First run, torqued it up on the line and backfired on the green. Later runs,after throwing bunches of jet at,it were better,and the fourth pass was "clean" but still went 12.0:1 a.f.r.at the stripe. The 60 ft. sucked balls.1.96 was the best. The car dead hooked(hats off to the "action traction" crew at Muncie dragway)and wallowed along from the 2500 r.p.m. stall speed until the 3500 r.p.m. sweet spot where it really begins to run good.I guess with 3.55"s and a 30" tall tire,a short stroke and a 2500 stall convertor, thats as good as it will get. With street grade traction it's much more impressive off the line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqPpT9_N0nA :correction:reviewed my LM-2 runs on the computer and the convertor only stalls at 2200r.p.m., couldn't tell accurately before a good "dead hook"

Congrats on a good first outing. 121mph is enough to get you way down in the 11's.

If you're really going to race it more, a transbrake is the easy answer to getting good ET's. My car did about the same off the foot brake the first day, and by the end of the first night with the trans brake it went 10.99@123mph.

My current converter will only stall 2300 without boost. Its taken some time for me to get the timing/fuel right so that it spools up quicker, but it definitely can be done.

Another thing too is that playing with the timing can be worth a lot. My car picked up 3mph going from 21deg of timing to 24~25deg last time I went to Norwalk.

Congrats. 121mph in that pig is making some good power!
