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.
