1.63 best with 4.11 should be quicker with the 4.57. Got a good Buddy coming to help as a spotter for me.

No track there last night. Best ever 60' 1.58 but after that all Pumpkin did was spin the tires to the 1/8. Sprinkled a couple of times then it rained about 8pm.

17" Hoosier slicks and Skinnies on Bogart's can't get much better. No way am I putting V6 brakes on my SS. No track prep was the issue.

Thx! Rhino made a tune change and he wants me to short shift it as it was starting to lay over after 6450. I'm making a tire pressure change and we will see.

Good luck Merc!
Do you have a shift light? We set ours at 200 rpm below where we want to shift as human reactions and all that.

Hey Merc, I'm planning on going drag racing next Friday.
Just got some 18" Mickey Thompsons, and an new clutch.
Do you know if there would be any advantage to starting in 2nd gear?
Is anyone having success doing that?
636rwhp and 600tq.
And what tire pressure are you finding the best?
