Need to focus on traction instead of making more power dude. So what did the cobra guy say after the thrid race, was he interested in running again?

I need to focus on remembering to enable my traction I'm not used to spinning at 90mph...I will remember in the future lol. He didn't make any effort to run again, he went on to run a couple other people on the drive back. When we got back he said he was in the wrong gear for the run that he lost. Interestingly enough, reaching the top of that gear and pulling through another, he still never caught back up...

Went to the track tonight, ran 11.53 @ 119 on 15psi. Not as fast as I was expecting/hoping for, but I am still pleased with it. I'm real stingy with timing because I don't want to break anything...IAT retard was pulling timing idling in the staging lanes Between that and a garbage converter, I am pleased. Once it cools off around here again and I have the meth installed and drop a new converter in, I'll be aiming to bring those times down to some more reasonable numbers. Will try to find some videos of the run.

Also worth noting, I was about 110lbs heavier than usual on that run cause a random hottie in the parking lot asked to ride with me. And I'll be damned if I was going to tell her no!

Sure she wasnt 310 with those slow *** times?

Youre running a Circle D right? He has a larger diameter converter now, maybe he will give you some credit since his converter isnt doing the job its suppose to...

Lol I know what you guys want pics of...and I didn't get any you horn dogs! Maybe you'll catch a glimpse in the video if I can get one

I already asked chris about getting some credit towards another converter but he said I would need to buy another. So next time it will get a yank. Also heard more crap about another circle d converter last night at the track, this time surprisingly from an NA guy.
