Good Luck Bro...let us know how you did.

I am sitting this one out...supposed to rain and that means the Pressure drops and humidity goes up and the DA goes to crap.

Actually it is showing the humidity at 50% by noon and 68 degrees for Gainesville. Not a bad DA at all, around +600

Go kick some butt. I'm waiting on my tires !

well today was awesome!! i ran once on motor and took it easy with the radials. then came around ran the bottle, it bogged out the hole cause i switched to the slicks and left to soft, so came back around again let it cool down. my torch ran out of propane so the bottle was cool. i clicked off a 1.6 60, 11.56 at 115. this was on a conservative tune, 93 octane. 355 with a 150 shot. i hit the bottle 15-20 feet out. then my buddys axle on his stang broke and we threw it on my trailer and drove the truck home 40+ miles lol. couldnt ask for anymore. going back with race gas and the timing turned up and fixing some suspension parts. going for 11.20's
