Thanks, Chris! I just felt that I shouldn't represent it as something that it wasn't. By the time I came back and saw my mistake, it was too late to edit the post.

Notes: Left @ 3200 on brake (usual 4800). Had to pedal on that pass - got out of the groove due to violent launch!
Just figured out after 15 passes that this 540 likes to rev to at least 7200. Dave Bisschop told me it would. Tossed the 6500 pill in the garbage! Not even turning 6000 through lights so obviously, I will be swapping the 3.72 gears for 4.10 and possibly even 4.3 and will run with open headers. I fully expect to be posting at least a 9.7X pass by next week.

Lookin good Gary. Didn't see it at HAN though.......

Friday night they had the last "midnight madness" race at gateway and went. Only got 2 passes in, but I have a new best E.T. ! Last week I took the car to my engine builder, and we worked on the rear suspension trying to get it to stop wheel hopping. It worked! I ran a 10.78 at 131 mph, with a new best 1.56 60' ! For my car thats a huge improvement! Second pass I messed up and nearly stalled it on the line, so I didn't even push it that pass and went home. (plus I couldn't keep my eyes open! Too late for me) Big thanks to my engine guy!

I was there but not the car. This is what it looks like now.

[cgeise]

Ok - this is tough - as the car has never been run all out - it would flip over at the starting line - - but at 9.90
163.40 MPH
60 foot is where ever I want to be - remember - throttle stop
123 mph at the 1/8 with over 3 sec of stop on
535 IAII Tiger heads
Powerglide
4.1 rear and 33" tire
c-15 fuel
All the calculations say the car would run 8.20 at about 165 -
weight is aprox 2250

[Goathead]

it would flip over at the starting line

But that's why they make them there wheelie bar thingies, isn't it?

I know the feeling. The '68 bird had that tendency. It came pretty close to setting down on the wall from above, and then the bars went on...
