Hitting the track today, shootin for 12s....

What a frigggin disappointment and waste of my time/money today was.

For starters, the car hooked better with NO burnout. 2.072 compared to 2.084 with a weak burnout. The line-loc I ordered from my buddy's shop never came in, so the car kicks sideways when warming them up.

Next, the car felt redicculously spongy, nothing like when I had taken it out last night and the night before - thoughts of being too rich come to mind. Either that or my brand new Holley pump is trash.

3rd, it started blowing oil out the front seal area of the valley.

4th, it also started spraying coolant out of a pinhole @ the clamp on the intake side of the heater core return hose.

Finally, to top it all off, I found out that the throttle wouldnt open all the way - I wound up cutting the cable insulation back (first culprit) and unhooked the kickdown linkage because it was the second culprit (tied it back, since I would be WOT the whole time) - frikking stupid car slowed down a tenth.

13.58s @ 103.x ... with a last pass of 13.68 @ 102.x

Needless to say I parked it after the 3rd pass.



What a waste of time $22k and you can take it away
