Way to go Fran!!!

Very nice!

Nice job Fran That new mill sure is making enough steam to make your car a solid 9 second GTX

Gus

Welcome to the 9 second club Fran!!! Good to see you out there that day and Saturday ad Sunday was even hotter out there. The cars running great and should be a little more in it. Wait until great air and maybe see some 9.60's

Awesome, in the 9’s! I always loved that GtX

Nice , your going to have to change your screen name now ... lol

Very cool!

Nice job!!

And welcome back, fellow old-timer

Very nice, congrats

Nice, congrats. What's the race weight and suspension? I was gonna try one of those boxes when my 511 was underperforming. Thought maybe the cause might be my Ice Ignition box. How do you like the box?

Good job!!

Good job, time to upgrade all the safety stuff

Congrats!

Great job!

The weight is 3900 with me Suspension is Cal Tracs with 9 way Rancho's 15x8 with Drag Radial Pro's ..... the box so far is great !!! go to FBO site for the best price anywhere

Can you post pic of time slip ,just want to compare ,i have same 60 and mph,but only run 10.30's
Thanks

133 mph at 3900 lbs in a car shaped like a barn door is pretty decent. Your ET and MPH are pretty close to what the chart calls for so it looks like your chassis is working good. Should be a fun ride and I'm sure you'll pick up some speed when you get a nice weather day. Come out here to Oregon when the weather is 70 degrees with DA of 100 feet and it will run great!

That's flying for that big tub....Congrats. What's the engine combo?

Interesting you're 60ft seems light and so does your mph to go 9.84, so the mid range has to be really pulling...What are you shifting at, are you short shifting it?

I can tell you, there is more in that combo...If I had to guess, I would looking to see if its lean on the top end, and adding more timing for the 60ft...Where is the timing mark on the plugs?

YEEHAAWWW !!! good job !

I have to confess .... if you look at the best pass mph I lifted. Things are happening way faster than when it ran 10.60's obviously, I shift at 6800 and it was pulling BUT it seemed like the shift light was on forever !!! timing is 34 and we didn't pull a plug so yes I hope there is more in it. Andy F where did this engine stop making power ? I have the limiter at 7500. I will have more DATA as soon I can get my act / seat time together

The Engine is Andy's former 514 Dyno engine

Peak power with my ported intake and 2 inch headers was in the 6800 to 7000 range. Just depended on which parts we had on the engine. If you're still running the OOTB Super Victor then it might be nosing over a little sooner. I was running a 2000 cfm throttle body and I think you have a 1150 Dominator so that might be knocking a little off. I'd think you're in good shape if you are shifting at 6800 and then running out the back door at 7000. You'll just need to keep an eye on the valve lash and the plugs until you get some more laps on it.

I had the Intake cleaned up nothing like Wilsons work but better than OOTB, We still have the larger intake rockers to try also, so I will keep updates

Time slip

Good Job !!!!

After looking at the time slip some more I agree that you have a bit left in the car. The 60 ft is a little soft for 9.84 and the mph is slow for 9.84. So if you got it to launch harder you would pick up some time and if you run it WOT out the back door it will pick up a little. That time slip looks like you got on it hard mid-track where it picked up time and speed but then you lifted at the end. Nothing wrong with that since it is one of the first times you've had that combo to the track. Get a few more passes under your belt with that engine and you'll pick up a little bit more.

Very impressive Fran!!

Right On Franny!

What an exciting move to begin a crazy year.Not many people get the chances to grow with the sport and I am excited for your future both in family and your car.Show me how it is done Fran and I will be cheering you on.

- Here is my time slip from the next day out at 42 - you must be lifting before the last MPH cone incrementals are pretty close - you are a little quicker starting at at the 330 - We are pretty close in weight at around 3800 or so - Congrats on the new best - you are in the nines!
