I think I am having traction issues! LOL its getting better this is leaving at 2000 RPM on the converter with my son in the back and he is 200# and with the battery in the trunk also with ET Streets and 331 gears with 28in tall tires. I am starting to get the lag problem worked out. and a lot of this was done in 2ND LOL http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...carpics006.jpg

LOL you sound like my boy he wants to do a video. All I have is a open down pipe now to many runs and the police man comes. If it runs good enough for Ford day I will put up a video for you Mike LOL. I still got 5psi of pressure in the down pipe soooo that's not good looks like I am gone to have to put a 4in down pipe on it SOME WHERE I am gone to go run it I hope it dont hurt any thing I pulled in 3rd for a good pull today and 3rd feels better then 1st. I got it pumped full of race gas so we will see. But I will leave you with a teaser http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e206/uedlose/ click on the video

Mike I will try to get a video up for you. yes we ran it and I am happy with it so far but there is alot still in it. My wife did the recording with our still camera so they are not the best but I will get you one up. And I got a new personal best today!! It ran 10.78 at get this 134.8 mph with a 1.80 60 ft. I did nothing to it but run it it only has 16 degrees of timing in it over 4000 RPM and is still very fat on the wide band 10.8 A/F and I was leaving off the foot break with out the 2 step. Oh did I tell you I was also on the brakes on the pass. Video coming

Holy Crap!!!!!!!!!!! well I ain't racin you!!! no sucker bait for me!!! maybe if I throw in the 150 shot I could hang FOR A SEC but then I'd most likely split the block in two!!!!, at 134 that's got way more in it!!! good deal John!!!! ARE you planning on going to the drag days in sept???
