My Dad and I got my car out for what is likely the last test and tune of the season on Saturday. I fought a clogged fuel filter for the first two passes but after cleaning that it pepped back up. I kind of guessed at the tune, I had removed the SD card from my ECU and for some reason after putting it back in it was losing connection after the burnout so I was not able to log any runs, so I added 3% of fuel each run until it fell off on MPH. Best of all I drove it out there and Drove it home.
New Best, the DA was around 800-1000ft
1.567 60ft 6.90 660ft 99.?? 660MPH 10.85 1/4 124.11mph

Congrats on new best. Nice modernization on an old school car. That must turn some heads when they look under the hood! How many people asked you if it was a Chevy engine? Several, I had a guy on drag week 2015 pull me aside and tell me he really liked my car even though I put a chevy engine in it.

Congrats on the new best, really nice car and I lost both times to you at the Mopar race last month, although the first time I forgot to turn my fuel pump on and it died halfway through the burnout, lol. Anyway I am a fan of the fastback barracudas Thank you, my car looks pretty nice as long as your's is not around haha you have a very well done car! You caught me on a hot streak at the mopar race, I ended up taking home the money. 😀
