Hey Todd,
I've been following you over at NEDSM but this is the first I've seen of your mods. Nice to see that the East Coast boys can post some numbers . That ET will change quite a bit once you change your throttle body. You've got lots of room to grow. BTW, very cool on the 2nd place. I understand that NEDSM represented pretty well.
Update on my times: Ran LVD last night. Sucked. Only got 2 runs in all night. They had printer problems, track problems, official problems and of course the track was packed. I put on some drag radials to fix my launch. First run I did an easy launch because I knew that I wouldn't get many runs in ended up with a 15.085@86.86 with a 2.4 launch! I'm a little suspicious of the final speed number because they were having problems with the speed gun. They had the jet car run a couple of times (just to slow things down even more) and he ended up shooting a 722mph final time. I really don't think he was THAT fast .
Anyway, I'm thinking cool time, I'll work the launch the next few times. Well come 9:45 I have my 2ND run (ends at 10). It felt pretty good but the time is identical. Consistent? NO, they had given me my slip from my first run! I didn't notice until I got home. I'm an old man. I couldn't read that shit at night at the track.
Oh well, guess I gotta run again for 14's. I'll be watching for your times. Good luck, MB
