Thanks Allen. I thought it was a pretty shitty pass but at least i was able to stay on it the whole time and get some info. Im going to leave it at 620hp for this weekend but leave much harder this time with more boost and a higher rpm since it really makes no power leaving at 6500rpm, 2-3psi lol. I think I can pull a 10.0-10.1 out of it at this level. The tranny is already making noise and getting louder each pass so im trying to hold off on 700hp until I know I got it dialed in, otherwise Ill be going home early again with a broken tranny and or motor. If everything holds up this weekend I'll be at Etown Nationals with full boost.

Thanks Ernie glad to see your back too !

Congrats to both of you guys. Looking forward to seeing more of your racing.

Well, I have big plans for next year. After my last event on Nov. 22- BOTI. I am finally going to do the body and paint on my car. Then, I will be building a 13b pport to compete in the all motor classes next year. If I get really lucky from my sponsor(DAD), I might even get a clutcless trans too, but we shall see.

Allen, when do you think you'll get a chance to run your car? Man, you must be dying to race your car after this long after your successful dyno session.

this is my car last weekend, first time drag racing and first time writing in this thread!

only got 4 passes, they wouldn't let me play more after the 10 sec pass.

22psi 1,63 60' best trap 133mph. yes it is a bit uphill, wonder how much that is hurting my time/trap?

I never really like road bikes, but it takes serious skill and nuts of steel to ride one.. Hats off to those riders.

Here's my order of petrol head love

1st- Mazda rotary
2nd- Drag racing anything (cars, bikes & boats)
3rd- power boats

I watch these 2 videos every night - Turbine power =

Yeah, I pretty much like anything that goes fast. But I don't think there's a whole lot of fast things out there that can beat a Top fuel dragster experience.

I think the guys who drive the top fuel drag boats get top honors for the biggest *****. Those are badd *** too.

Get a heavier flywheel and that will remove the snap and make a much smoother delivery of the power.. if he still scared go down on the rear sprocket 3 teeth that will give you more top speed but will bog the acceleration down more to his liking or at least till hes more comfortable. I wish I could ride on the west coast

Sorry that was a typo.. I ment to say MD

They are still going to MIR for the shootout.. Will confirm it and let you guys know.
I'll be out of the country for that event.. That's to bad because I really wanted to see Big Daddy lay down the smack on those V8's
