Went to the Cecil Street car shootout this month. Right off the trailer went 4.91 @ 141 . Added .5* of timing. Picked up about .6 mph from last month. The air actually was a little worse than last month. 60 foot picked up to 1.16. next couple passes it spun because i kept trying to put more to it early. I guess i should not try to go so fast on such hot days with track temps over 100* LOL I ended up #16 and had to race number one qual first round. He spun bad, i had some really bad tire shake, but managed to pedal it once to go a 5.19. Lost in the second round, but overall im happy. Car should go in the 80's even in horrible conditions. (3300ft 112water grains)

How did the plugs look with more timing? Literally no heat on the straps yet , so I’m just going to keep adding timing until it doesn’t pick up any mph .

Sounds like the winter changes are showing some great promise for sure. Awesome to see it coming around for you.

NO , not another new best E T .....
But I have found one issue . Most of my weight reduction has been from the driver seat rear wards . Now finally Got it on some scales and .... whoooaaa we got a little too much on the front , 56.6% up front . So I’m either going to have to add about 66lbs to the rear ( got me to 54.5%) or get some weight off the front . Looks like I may just have to lighten or replace my STOCK front suspension after all .... lol Hopefully the 66lbs bandaids it for now and I make it down every time
