Been a while since an update lol. We literally had the car “done” a day before we left for Drag Week. Made our first pass on a track after Sunday Tech.
Best run we had was: 10.95 ET at 127mph with a 1.89 60”. So obviously the convertor wasn’t a good match. Trying to find “sweet spot” for street and strip needed more time we didn’t have so were conservative at first. Flashed just over 2k ... so now we have one installed that should flash a bit over 4K ... so once weather breaks, we’ll see how far we can get that 60” (thus ET) down where it should be.
But we finished Drag Week with no real issues. Quite way to do a shakedown for street and strip. Lol. Ate some alternators - spun em too high.
