    The girl is hot!!!! Wicked car!!! I believe your are now running a 363 rather than the 331?

    Are you making those times with the tires on the car in the pictures. Your 60' times tend to indicate a lack of traction. If you put a set of drag radials on it you will need a roll bar, something you probably don't want?

    Thanks!
    Ya I have a 363 N/A now. Heres a pic of the car last night at the track. The rear tires are 26x8 QTPs with whitewalls painted on to match the look of the front. (Sleeper games).
    If I can ever figure out the combo to 60' :-(

    Anywhere from 4-5k and essentially dumping the clutch cause the engagement is so narrow. I got 3.70s in there now but thinking about going to 4.33s

    That's an 11.2 car once you get your 60's figured out. Nice sleeper look!

    You're welcome!!

    That means that pass would probably be in the 11.60's at sea level!

    Nice! We all knew there was more left in the other combo and this new bigger bullet should be even better.

    Seems pretty evident by the video that the motor wants more gear coming off the line. What rpm crossing the stripe?

    Ya I agree. With the 3.70 gear now i cross at 5,830 rpm at 122.5. I made the call this morning... im going with 4.33s which will put me at 7,000 at 125mph. It made peak power at 7,300. That should help. Also going to install a Ramair system.
