Stop spending money at Baby Gap and you'll have more truck money!!

At Bandimere right now. Got 4 runs in early.
14.999 @ 90.49, 2.153 60'
15.431 @ 90.18, 2.457 60'
14.718 @ 90.81, 1.956 60'
14.720 @ 90.64, 1.967 60'

Times got slightly better after I learned to brake stall a little longer...

Best run of the night came after it cooled down a bit, and I removed the tailgate and spare tire:

R/T .091
60' 1.909
330' 5.881
1/8 9.211
MPH 74.40
1000' 12.092
ET 14.538
MPH 92.31

I'll be interested to see what effect going from 4.10's to 3.42's would have, and also switching to lighter wheels and tires. These 20's are heavy!

Looks like I got pretty good weight transfer on launch too, I think the slight angles in the front driveline will be good where they are.
