Default Friday night at the Strip

Once a year a bunch of my buddies get together and we head about an hour and a half from Peoria, to Cordova IL dragway park. This past friday we went up. My time to beat was a 14.99 @ 93 mph.

This vid may have been my best run - 14.66 @ 92.8 mph
2011 10 14 20 33 49 546 - YouTube

Here is my compare slip from a couple of years ago. I have done nothing to the engine and trans over the past 4 years, just some tuning. I did swap the rear end from a 3.07 12 bolt open to a 3.73 10 bolt open, and this time I was running drag radials.
Left Side is with 3.73, Right Side is 3.07

Looks like the gears helped you out.. But you ran the same mph, well actully a little slower.
