Fri 4500 launch rpm--------60ft

2-------8.84 @153.30-----1.303
3-------8.83 @153.61-----1.293

Sat 5500 launch rpm

1st------8.76 @152.76-----1.241
2--------8.77 @153.44-----1.250
3--------8.76 @153.70-----1.252 elimination run
4--------8.75 @153.35-----1.253 elimination run
5--------8.75 @153.65-----1.246 elimination run

For the car to be this consistant I am quite sure there was no insert problem or head gasket leak. We are checking leak down today to see if there are any changes.



Good deal Glenn. Congrats on the win as well
I was sceptical at first but it is looking like my initial thoughts were wrong. Ya learn something every day
