got two good runs with the slicks(also my first time experience with slicks). my best run i got really squirrelly all down the track and eventually had to get off the gas in fourth. but i definitely need more practice but here it is.

R/T ... -.021
60' ... 1.738
330 ... 5.204
1/8 ... 8.024
MPH ... 87.86
1000 ... 10.624
1/4 ... 12.810
MPH ... 103.43


my other run was a 13.01 at 109 with a .002 R/T WOOHOO thats damn near perfect!!!

what kinda gearing you have? you've got the power it looks for 1.6 60's at least even with a mild suspension and with a 109 trap I bet you could run low 12's at least once you get some runs in.

Damn, thatcar really does scream... What size slicks do you have? 28"?26"? Good runs.. I cant wait for some slicks!

BTW: I figured I was going to be getting heads in the near future, and decided I wanted a bigger TB.I got a new BBK 70mm Unit and spacer, so I probably won't buy that 65MM one from you. Still keep me updated on things you are preparing to get rid of, because I am always a candidate for new performance parts.

Hey tang, include a mods list in your next post, I want to see what all is done to your car, what heads do you have?

if you got squirrelly down track, you might want to add 1 or 2 psi pressure to the slicks and see if this helps any. pressures too low and slicks will wander around on the top end.
