Made a few passes yesterday at a local 1/8th mile dragstrip. I have been tuning on the suspension and engine since switching to VP racing fuel. Second pass on 125 shot (delayed until 20' out the gate) hung the front wheels over a foot in the air for a truck lenght. It went 6.45 @ 109 with a 1.43 60ft. This was leaving at 3000 rpm with the 2 step and transbrake. I think I can safely say it's close to being dialed in!
Failed to get a video yesterday but hope to repeat this weekend at the "House of Hook" in Jackson, SC. I promise to get plenty of footage if weather permits.

I made it there but nothing great to tell. It was a nice track and facility. The people were great also. Heat and humidity were terrible. Made 2 passes, first pass was just a warmup run. Track got oiled a couple of times then. Second pass I used the 100 shot on a button so I could delay it. When I seen the guy mopping the track from the car in front of me I should have just saved my effort. You can see (and hear) what happened in the attached incab vid. It only went 11.04 @ 125 w/1.63 60ft. Right after the second pass the rain started coming down in buckets.

Works great so far with no issues at all. T-brake does not lock as quick as a powewrglide but I have learned to work with it. 50-60 passes on it so far with approx 20 on the t-brake. Chuck at FLT deserves credit for a job well done!
