Default Finally, after 2 1/2 years.......

I'm going to go to a 'test and tune' session next friday night at S.I.R. in Tucson, AZ.
As of a couple hours ago, the car waas finally ready. Got a real consverative tune on it. Same one I had when I took the 306 I built to the engine dyno were it made the 420HP.
I just hope this whole session goes ok as I need seat time in the car, don't want to take it out there to work on it.............

You got to remember that S.I.R. is at 3200+ feet and the air density could well be 4500'+ thats going to kill .4-.5 off the ET's easy.
Even NHRA S/ST cars run an 11.19 index instead of 10.90 here......
My own goal with the car is run 11 anything.
Set-up the way it is, I'm probably leaving .4-.5 on the table.
BTW, I'm all motor.

Do you have any pics of this monster, are you running EFI?
