My new fully enclosed drag trailer

NOT!

Well, fully enclosed in my garage that is. Hopefully it will make it to the track.

Planning on racing alot this summer. Just got my new EGT meter too. Time to tune this sucker and then it's going on the bottle.

check with local guys that been around me before you met me, 12.58 for a p-port in a gutted out datsun 1200 with a 9inch rearend sounds like its not making power, ive seen rx7s with stock trannies and stock rearends run 10s at pomona and run 11.40s up at lacr so do your homework before youl lollol: in here about my 12.78......

My best time in the 8th is a 8.8 at 83mph with a 2.1 60ft. This is with a 12a bridgeport and 48ida with stock rearend, first gen trans, and 4.88 limited slip.
Still need to tune and if I get a good 60ft I think I can get in the low 8's in the 8th which would be high 12's in the 1/4. In the near future a 9" is going in with a 13bpport and 62ida.
