Wow, real close Justin! And looks like the DA mid afternoon was about -500. Great 60' times as well. Long tubes and maybe a 2.65/2.70" upper too get you over the hump???

Congrats

Thanks Buddy!

nice runs

Appreciate It!

Yea I actually just bought some Stainless Works long tubes and was debating the 2.65 Upper. I kinda wanted to do it with the 2.76 though just because its a common upper pulley size. I'm going to switch to a return style fuel system, long tubes and switch to E85 before I'm able to go back to the 1/4 so we'll see what she does then.

Sooo jealous of you guys with negative da's...

 

[fs308]

is the blower ported?

 

[C.Hicks26]

Hmm is that 28" tire the right size?

 

[90goldtsiawd]

That is awesome...

 

[BADASS03SVT]

great job...

28s and 3.55s?? Id try some gear? at 125 you must only be at what....5700-5800??? a 4.10 would be about right Id think

and get a SBTB!!!

So Close buddy...After watching the videos you can tell the prep down track wasn't good which I am sure was costing you a little bit..

CobraStruck is running a 3.73, 28" Hoosier and Unported Eaton

He has been working at this combo for a year or 2 and keeps progressing

Here is a vid I threw together of his and SvtDsG's runs from yesterday...Sorry the mod list is incorrect I did it from memory

Cobrastruck and SvtDsG at The Rock 3-3-13 - YouTube

Sooo jealous of you guys with negative da's...

Amen to that! The best I;ve ever seen in Tennessee is 400 above sea level on 40 degree day.

Oh and great runs!:beer:

 

[SYMach1]

Great runs guys...you guys need to come up to nmra at mir in may

 

[Snakesvt04]

Nice job! So close

Congratulations JT on your four runs in the 10's looks like a bracket car oke:. It looks like both you and Svtdsg had some good runs yesterday. blown302stng nice video's but I was expecting to see some of your car in the 9's from yesterday.

 

[CobraStruck]

is the blower ported?

No like Jeremy said the blower is untouched. Never been off the car.

Hmm is that 28" tire the right size?

I have wanted to try a 26" slick but I am nervous to buy them and then the car not hook. I am launching on my 2-step around 6000 and the car barely bogs. I am happy with my 1.49 60' though. The best the car has cut is a 1.47 60'.

That is awesome...

Thanks appreciate it!

great job...

28s and 3.55s?? Id try some gear? at 125 you must only be at what....5700-5800??? a 4.10 would be about right Id think

and get a SBTB!!!

Yea I have a single blade Billetflow. Going to put it on when I install my headers and get the retune. Yea and sorry the car has a 3.73 in it now. I have debated the 4.10 and its so cheap to do I might as well just do it.

Nice job! So close

Thanks!

I would have like to have had mine out there, but having 3rd gear issues in my transmission so it has to come back out and get fixed before I make it back out..Hopefully have it ready for the 23rd

 

[SvTDsG]

Congrats JT, I had good time, I also had some new PB myself, although my 1/8 mile passes where good I had some back half issues but I won't get into that. Congrats again buddy!!!

 

[Senkak]

Very impresive!!

Wish I would of known you guys were going to invade like that, I was invited to come by a few friends but figured I would catch hell going to the import race. This is getting me pumped to see what happens the 26th, big 7.0 contenders again.
