Default New Best

Set a personal best on sat at the Rock, Track is still green cause its new, but once a little sun came out later on, and they dragged it and sprayed it came around briefly, and I made 4 great passes with 60fts all 1.42-1.43, That's still leaving at only 2500 on the FB,The weather was cool, 58 degrees? Hum was around 40%, But there was a terrible headwind , gusting over 20+.
I was very pleased with it, Shifting at about 6200, thru the traps about 6550 and I think it shows great promise that there is plenty left in it!

Thanks Guys!
Tininjun, sorry cant stop now
John, I changed my emulsion package in my dominator, Went from the 2 like a stock holley location and went to 3 with alot smaller holes, but still the same in area as my 2 were. I also went to a msd dist with one spring off the advance trying 30 total instead of the 26-27 i ran on the dyno and all of last year. Im guessing u factor out the wind i picked up a solid tenth maybe more. I'm still on old tires too.

Nice job Darby. Jake & I were both there. You were busy talking to the woman when we came by the car. It sounded like you were on the brake??

I'm planning in 2 weeks testing a new intake ported by a fellow board member...I know Andy went through a rather extensive rebuild and is getting really close...Chris is pretty well ready too....I know us 3 aren't your typical hardcore dragracers...but we live and die by the timeslip too!

60ft, and the whole run, the wind was definitely holding me back up top, a friend was down 2 mph in his low 10 nova. I didn't even get to try my Wilson spacer etc.

Great improvement and as you posted still more there. The 60 ft times are coming around for you.

Keep up the good work. Beginning of the season!
