Default Its a lot of fun when it just keeps going FASTER

Every time i take it out it picks up and goes faster. Still got lots to try. This time slip and vid are from last night.

video from the next run. went faster in 60. but was dragging the front brakes down the entire run. went an .84 only went 120 1/8 and 150 in 1/4 for mph.

thats the best part...between the 60' and a gear change/and converter adjustment/ tuning i think theres a .10 in the same conditions. Its still very responsive to changes.

Mike, I can see you are a nice and classy guy because you could just as easily have used your middle finger for illustrative purposes.

At least he used a finger


Mike, the car looks amazing and is running fantastic. Congrats! You have peaked my curiosity... Can you divulge the measurements at the intake port? It appears to be smaller than mine.

1 3/8"x 2 7/16. thats the size of the opening. There are tubes for the pushrods that cuts into the side number maybe .80 or so. more at the bottom
