Default Will she run 10's this time?

I'm headed to Nelson's on friday and will be running that evening at SAR. Changes since the 11.50 pass are bigger cam, ls6 intake, and I will be removing 20's this time. I matched my winter time best last week and gained 2 mph in the 1/8th with a far from perfect mail order. Any tips for making a good pass since I will most likely only get one chance to run?

lol, you want us (who are slower?) to give you tips? Yeah, don't stare into the Sun.....

Man, good luck I say. Let her cool down a few hours before making that pass. I assume slicks? get 'em gooey hot. say your prayers and wear your lucky shorts.

staying tuned!

It is going to depend how much you can get out of the tune..with a 1.6X 60 you need to be right around 100mph in the 1/8th to hit 10's. Make sure to fill bottles all the way up! Should be close, Good Luck!

Make sure lines are purged, big smokey burnout, & ready to spray house down.
