Went to cecil county yesterday afternoon. Drove my STREET CAR to the track and ran 4 times.

1st run: 10.509 @ 128.62
The new converter didnt like leaving at 1,500 RPM. 1.529 sixty foot. Pulled 103.37 at half track.
2nd run: 10478 @ 128.65
Left at 2000 rpm and liked it better and went 1.51 sixty foot.
3rd run:10.59 @ 128.87
Was lean, jetted up. Left at 2400 spun bad went towards wall,lifted and still went more MPH.
4th run:10.47 @ 129.21. Dropped timing down 2 degrees to 33 total and picked up MPH. Sixty foot was still 1.52. Should be a little better , but not complaining at all.
I was hoping for a 10.50 after it was tuned in completely and on a nice cool night. So starting out with that I was extremely happy. What really impressed me was from half track on the thing pulled like a freight train, and I didnt think that RPM intake would do that. Im glad i stuck with the RPM intake and not changed to a single plane. Thats a pretty damn good dual plane intake. Maybe I will try a warrior before winter but Im happy with whats on it. After the second run at the end of the track I pulled a plug and put another one in so i could go back to the pits to check the one i pulled out and the car wouldnt start. Got towed back. No spark. Damn MSD crapped out on me. Went home and pulled one of my bother in laws camaro thats in my garage. Hooked his up and fired right up. Crazy how stuff like that happens.
Now some more tuning and then the 150 shot and see what happens. Should be in the 9's now.
