Very nice 10.94 sec run. really good 60'. Get that tune and exhaust done and I would bet you would be down around 10.75-10.80. You say you were a little disappointed, What were you hoping for?

It'll probably run that now, gotta work on the launch, there is a delay in my foot mashing on the floor = driver mod, I worry when the No2 kicks in all crap will break loose..lol, I was hoping for at least an 11.20 on the motor @122ish mph, It'll eventually do it, this was the first time to the track with the new combo = shakedown and baseline, so now I see where it's at I know what I have to do, on the bottle I'd of liked a 10.60-10.70....in due time!!!

FTI custom cam 600+ lift and over 240+ duration
Biggs performance stage 5 holley hp 750 dp
FTI custom port job on air gap intake
Got plenty of time to tune it, right now my attention is more directed at a 89 vert but It'll get there in due time

I know a wide band shows fuel/air ratio but what tuning can really be done without a programmer? i was thinking of getting one but i thought they are mainly for turbos and superchargers, but i don't really know.
no my wife ran the 92, she got 15 runs in.............I'm carbed , no need for a programmer my 1/2 wrench and timing gun are my programmer..lol........the wideband will let me know where I need to make the jet changes and help trace drivibility gremlins = all in the tuners touch for me not key stroke if ya' catch my drift...........also it'll let me know on the no2 runs if I need to shut it down if it goes to lean, they are not just for efi and boosted cars

enjoy your auto!!! ^^^^^^trust me when you get yours dialed in you'll be glad you had an auto, I could probably be faster with an auto since I'm not speed shifting

^What he said! Very impressive. I watched the vids several times and it may just be me but are you getting more bog/offset wheelspin than you really want?
