    Tranny freshened, torque converter gone over, some other small changes and hitting the track to nite! (y)

    Hope I can keep the front wheels on the ground and get some good passes. Will follow up

    There is no such thing as too much power - it is always a traction problem!
    If the front end don't lift, its a power problem.
    If the tires spin its a traction problem!

    Ran a 10.01 132.6mph. Was hoping to go 9.80s. Tuning in shocks, car hitting hard an rolling to right. Rain slowed the night but I saw I was heading in the right direction. Couple more t n t I should be able to dial in. Front end is liftinf about right, glad for that cause I dont want scratch back bumper! All n all was a good night!
