Hmmm? Should I trust you? You may be trying to make me run slower so when we meet up you don't get flogglewhomped! :D :D Thanks!

Good to know it was that big of a change. It may not make the car faster overall, but it will make the low/midrange and idle better. May not matter depending on your converter stall.

0.032" should not hurt it.

It's good you have a dream.

I've already been low .70s.

Don't sing it, bring it. :mrgreen:

I drove the car to work a day last week and it feels soooo good! I can't believe how it pulls. Oops! I forgot I still have the 4.89 gears in it from last fall at Knoxville. :D :D That's why it feels so fast! Still wish I could get a "good weather" run with these gear in. I feel certain I could get into the 7's in the 1/8 mile. It has gone 8.0 with 4.30 gears. Guess another gear change is in my near future!

Your 2 Mile Jaunt from Buttermik to Quincy should be fun!

I think there should be some TNT's at Mason Dixon soon?

what about Quarter Aces Drag -o- Way? you should be able to get up there before easter.

Best of Luck, and See you in May!

Greg

I've been 8.02 with 4.86 gears. I think with some tuning I can get to 7.80s.
