shots from the garage...
Well it was a fight…. made two miserable 6.11 / 6.09 passes on Friday. We have tune issues, trans issues, chassis issues. This is fun right?? Screwed up getting data so that was no help. I ended up loading the car in the trailer, turned the heat on and pulled the carb off and tore it down. Cleaned, checked passages all looked well. In the morning kicked the car out and changed spark plugs. Also did a drastic drop in jetting. Got up for our 1 and only time hit and she hooked and booked! got us a new low ET! The launch graph still looks ugly and I‘m betting we could have broken into the 5.6s with the old trans. dialed a 5.71 and went .004 red 1st round. Car went 1.26 60 and ran 5.75.
