No I couldnt make it tonight. I had to ship out some stuff I sold on Craigslist and took the car to Shawn's to get some bugs worked out for the Need2speed track rental on the 14th.

What is the MPH again?
Not enough motor for 28" tires in NA mode. Maybe with spray I'll try some 28" later down the road.
Its just a NA 306 with AFR 185 heads.
Was doing 109 - 110 mph in the 1/4 and 86 - 88 mph in the 1/8.
Its making good power for what it is. I guessing around 330 - 340 at the wheels right now. MPH says the car should be deep in the 12's for 1/4 mi track. The problem is partially me still trying to perfect my launching technique,.. and the other half is the car still has basically a stock rear suspension.
Hopefully after I get it back from Shawn's I can try to work on getting a better launch. I was having some bog and stumble issues with the carb and just dont have the time to get it worked out right now so gave it to Shawn to make it right for me.
Soon as money permits I will redo the rear suspension and get the torque boxes welded up. I need to put a sump in the tank and redo some other things as well. Still has the stock k-member and a-arms up front. Going to get a tubular setup and try to lighten the front end up as much as I can. Again,.. as soon as money permits.
For now I'm just going to take it out as often as I can and try to have some fun with it.
Thanks guys.
