you have leather + sunroof? 1 gal gas = 8 lbs I think.

I've got the leather/sunroof/power seats.

I think I read that regular gas was about 6 lbs/gal. So a full 19 gal tank would be about 114 lbs.

I was 3880 with 1/4 tank, so I figure it'd be 3852 with no gas, or 3966 with a full tank.

My headers and exhaust are probably saving me a few pounds over stock.

How about video? Still not a new best, but figured a few things out this weekend that should help. My other qualifying run was 12.02. That was after driving 90 minutes and less than 20 minutes to get to the staging lanes.

AWESOME!!!!!!...Question: How does that 3200 vig converter drive on the street?Is it a single disc? Getting ready to install one in my car and Mike thinks the 2600-2800 stall would work for me but I keep wanting the 3200.

My turn: Back in July at Gulfport Dragway I ran a 12.31 @ 114 on stock p-zeros. 1.87 60'.

This was the first trip to the strip after the mods you see below and only the third run before I had to leave to get the kids home. With a few wrinkles in the tune still, I'm ready to head back to the tuner and then Isaac hit. My tuner got 4 foot of water in his shop. Should be back up and running in a couple weeks, working on the tune, installing the NOS system and throwing on the M/T 305 DRs, should make a huge improvement

I love the 3200, but it is not for everyone. I had one previously so I knew what to expect. Yes, it is a single disc.

As always, I suggest working with your shop and tuner for what they prefer to work with.

Event was too short, more to do, more to learn- as always. Heading out this weekend again.

Good day.
Tim -Nice run!

How much did you gain with the converter...Mine is going in soon...I can't wait.

Awesome run btw.

I saw that. There was even a little more after that but I edited it out. I did lose on a double break out.

Congrats on your new personal best. What tire did you use? A 9.5 converter weighs less than a factory converter....just saying.
