day at the track set some new records
wow dude, congrats! That is very impressive. All of your hard work and patience is starting to pay off. I can only imagine what you'll do with the drive-train tightened up!

no joe and i fixed the belt slip i was having . but we did max out the 2bar compltely.
the biggest problem was the converter i have is way too loose and is flashing to almost 5k rpms. so its being pulled and rebuilt now.
so i should be able to drop some et off it pretty easily and possibly pick up some mph too.

it was a 9.5 and its already on its way back so ill be down a week or so which is no biggie.
the problem with hitting the track at night is you need a track that is open at night, the closest one is about 2 hrs away. my next attempt will be there . some time in july depending on weather. with a better d/a and converter 10's are attainable.
also the straps seem to help weigh transfer alot but i was only cutting high 1.7x 60fts so the real test will be with the new converter. i know i had no wheel spin at all
