and I am pretty happy. :shock:

Made 3 passes total, best was 14:20@96. All moder, feetsbrakin', street tires, and exhaust in place. :lol:

This thing really hauls from about 4000 on up. Shift light was set at 6200. This is the fastest the car has ever been on moder only. :shock:

Next weekend we put the brake and a little naws to it. I am actually gonna try and tune it a little and get into Pro w/o the bottle. I have to run 13:99 or better. :?

I gave it a little squirt at 75 horse yesterday. At 25mph in low gear it instantly lit the tires. :twisted:

Gonna do a little tuning this week and try and get into Pro on motor Saturday. I "only" have to pick up 2 tenths or so to do it. :roll:

Talked to Mike tonight and have clearance to spray away. 75 shot will be on board Sunday. I think that should get me pretty close to the 12's. :shock:

You're right Sandy, red is faster. :lol:

Good luck Charlie. I have major issues keeping one car going. :D

I know that feeling.
I have been up to my arm pits with a motor swap and "plumbing work" on my drag car engine ever since I got home from the Las Vegas race.

Looks like I have most of the hard work completed but I still need to bend a few hard lines and do some hook-ups. Carb and kick-down linkage is the next challenge.
If all goes as planned, I will light-off my new combo next weekend. I hope to have everything going in time for Redding.
Wish me luck...I am going to need it!
