Paul, why aren't you on slicks? Seems like that may help some.

This is only my 10th time running the 1/4 so I am still figuring out the lights and the take off. Maybe soon I can break into the 9s if I keep practicing.

Paul, how's the weather out there? It can't be that good. Especially at 4:30 in the afternoon.

on the slicks... I see you running Nittos With the power your putting down you should be pulling 1.1-1.3 60' times.

Looks like some 9's for you with some good tires and fall air. Did you drive it to the track this time?

This is with no meth or nitrous. I thought about getting a 250 shot of nitrous and a few other things before the LSX Shootout.

How are you leaving on that converter? Do you leave off idle and wack it or stall it up? I just got my stall put in and will obvioulsy need to see what works best but it would help to have a place to start.

I kind of have to idle up with my foot on the brakes and then hammer it and let off when the tires break loose then get back into it. I am hoping the new converter will loosen up a little but this was the first time at the track with the converter. I just picked my car up this morning from getting the converter installed at Lingenfelters.

That seems like alot of stall for all the power you have. I guess with the blowers you run you can get away with it. I think LPE knows how to spec their stuff. I went with a 26-2800 with the maggie becasue it hits so hard on the bottom. Thanks for answer back. Now its time for James to step up to the plate.

Yes we will have a pretty good handle on it this coming weekend and hopefully post up some 9s. My car would probably do better with a professional driver behind the wheel. It was only 10hp different then the LPE LS9 car.
