Default New ET for Spike (video added)

Well we decided to make a trip to a longer track, as opposed to the one in the valley. These runs were at HRP:

First run was scary the truck popped a wheel stand and smoked the tires a little since the track was cold. We let off but managed a 1.36 60ft.

Second run we ran 9.38 @ 141.5 with a 1.32 60ft.

Last run was 9.46 @ 142 with a 1.36 60.

This was on 441 LSX on 2 stages. 250 and 100. We had never ever had the truck lift the tires at EIRT i will post the videos and time slips as soon as i get back home. We will continue to work on this set up to try to lower the times.

Nice times, and great 60'! I figured 141~142 mph was good for 9.30's with a low 1.3 60' .

I would say im content but not satisfied. We,re raising the shot on a fogger and going for 8s. The motor is built for alot more. Also the tranny was shiffting early probably for lack of calabration cause we swapped gears. The 60 ft was what really amazed me. I never expected that.
