Default New best, finally hit 13s

I went to island dragway last friday and finally got into the 13s. It actually surprised me cause i was spinning so bad even feathering it from 1300 outta the hole, going sideways in 2nd and watching the speedo pop from 65-85 when i shifted into 3rd. Hit my best mph by 3/4 of a mile thanks to my t.b and plenum.

Here is the run
60........2.207
330......6.036
1/8......9.149@79.61
1000...11.769
1/4.....13.986@102.0

Best mph 102.25

Nice, get those traction issues worked out and watch the time drop.

I wanted to go to the last wed nite event, but i had the swine flu, it sucked. My other mod is the skinny guy mod i only weigh 140 so i guess that helps, plus no spare or jack and my low fuel light came on the last run.
If i find a decent set of drag radials over the winter, ill do them and gears for next season
