Getting better!

Went 1.36 60 foot tonight and trapped 110mph 1/8 track. Also liberty tranny is strong! I shifted twice tonight 1-2-1! Oops! Tranny is fine. I just went back to flat shift 1-2 and slow shift 2-3.

Oem axels are the ****! Videos coming soon.

I also figure out that the gm 3 bar maxes at 2.18. I was like damn my boost controller is dead on 2.18bars 3 passes in a row..


Tested on the way home and saw35 psi.. Oops again.

Thanks guys! It started to be a bad night with me shifting 1-2-1 on first pass while doing that it blew my charge pipe off which I didnt realize at first. Next pass was great driving but the car made 1.1bars! Took over hour while redoing my boost controller before I realized it was the charge pipe off. Was getting ready to call it a night.

Beefy, not sure on th 1/4. My wife is not happy that I dont have a cage and its 1.5hr drive to the 1/4 track verse driving mine to the 1/8 track 3-4 miles away.


My secret suspension set up is OEM axels (came in the car) and a TII diff, oem touring spring-strut combo in rear, stiff coilovers upfront. I promise these axels have 110k miles on them with 200+ passes. All 60 foots (5) last night were 1.36 to 1.44.

Besides, its just one more straight foward shift, more wear on the car. You really already know what the time would be off the 1/8th.

Guess I may never be on the big list but you can be sure its in the nines!

Really good job mike! Your car has one of the best street/strip combos and you are really getting it done out there! Ill have a few customers cars at the gap again this year, one of them is a 4094 powered car that I think you'll like!

Keep up the good work, mike!

Thanks guys.. Well see Anthony, my bro informed my wife on the speeds it will go and how I am far from having any safety items. May have to cage it to convince her.

2step was acting up, or me. I was having issues on setting the line lock and 2 step since I didn't lable the possitions. 1st time back out since oct. And I spent the hole day cutting wood so I was toasted.
