Default Getting it done.. 1.49 60" 6.52@106.6

Well guys, the trucks getting pretty exciting. First pass was a feeler for the new driveshaft setup, then I did 3 bottle passes. It's tricky on where to get it come on at without over powering it, but i'm getting a better feel for it and what it likes.

Very happy with last night and I guess my new goal is out of the bag, I'm going to push for a 9 second 1/4 pass. I went 10.34 with a 6.62 8th, I think this 6.52 would have gone 10.1x-10.2x.

Plan is keep working the 60's, but it's going to need a bigger shot. I hope a 50 will get it done, but well see. Stay tuned! could be awesome or ugly, but i'll share what happens either way.

New style would be 2006+, correct?

Should be 2005+, but I need some reassurance after seeing how hard Rob beats on this thing. I didn't think those rods could take so much.
