Really ? I thought you had restored everything on your car.
You are going to have to take pics because I have a feeling that your brakes are probably cleaner than new ones.

Thanks guys!

Made 3 passes, all within 3 1/100s of each other.

Best was an 11.22 @ 120.57 with a 1.632 60'

I still don't feel like this car leaves very hard but I guess a mid to low 1.6 60 time isn't too bad for a 3995 pound car.

Had a pretty strong headwind the entire day as well

I know that track very well...actually most sunny days the right lane is quicker.
Looks good Eric. I think I read on another post that somone was asking why the mph was the same as last motor configuration.
Probably a pretty good head wind last Sat @ Silver Dollar. Track runs East/West and is was breazy. That will scrub off a couple mph's...

Well that and the MPH in question was from Paradise and their eyes at the end of the 1/8th seem to be a little off. Everything else picked up a good bit.

I stayed out of the right lane because as soon as I unloaded a tube chassis car spun and flipped about 5 times. Put it this way, the motor and trans left the track on a flat bed while the rest of the car was hauled away on something else. Seems everyone was struggling in the right lane Saturday.
