Default new 1/4 mile times!

I went to Memphis last night and ended up running a best of 12.67 at 105. The 1/8th mile on that pass was 8.01 but I ran a 7.93 at my home track last week (and that was spinning the tires) so if I could hook it the times would be a little better. I am quite happy at this point. I really am going to spray it later this year so we'll see what that does.

Yeah, I still have to wideband it-I am running on a tune that I made up myself when I put in the 42lber's and I can't get it dialed in right-the L trims are acting weird. I think a little liquid intercooler would put me in the 11's with a good tune.

I sure hate I missed that run last night. I've been wanting to catch up with you so I could learn a couple of things from you. I'm trying to break into the 12's myself. Let me know when you come back this way.

2000-Were you there last night? That run was against a light blue S10 with tires so wide it looked like 1 big tire in the back. He ran a 12.4x so he beat me a little but he came over to where I was in the pits to see what I had under the hood. I think he was surprised a little. My trip there last night was spur of the moment but next time I plan on coming I will pm you or something.

Whitt-I got off work a little early so I thought what the heck. I had to rush around to get there on time. I ran off and forgot my 7 psi pulley. I am thinking it runs better with 7 psi and more timing than it does with 9 and less. I wanted to test that theory but oh well. At least it is starting to perform as I have been expecting.
