Different rear gear, change from 3.7 to 3.5. Weight loss, not sure how yet LOL. I really need to get my car 4 wheel scaled like Mark is doing before I start jerking weight out of the car. I need to get a set of 6 bolt heads. The 4 bolt heads I have flow really well but they push a little bit of water and I want to run more boost. I cant wait until you get those last few items squared away It will be "game on" then. This was on the MT 315/60R15 drag radials at 16 psi, I love the stability of the radials I started running them a couple of years ago and have never looked back. I think the slicks are more forgiving (better recovery)when they do spin and will hook easier than the radials. But when you do get them to work I think they are a little faster. It is such a nice smooth ride. I feel a lot safer on them. I believe the sidewalls stay together longer so you get a lot more passes out of them.

Paid

Congrats on the win!!!

I am angry Jamie, and your shitting in my threads lately is what made me that way. Maybe your confusion is related to the picture. That picture is of the pass with the 1.28 60' Clearly the front wheels tripped the beams on that pass. There are no pictures that I am aware of taken on the first pass. When are you going up to Milan?

Actually the slips do tell me that I packed the wheels past the beam. The difference between the first and second slip show 5.5 hundredths at the 60' but magically drop to only 1.3 at the three thirty. There is a similar disparity between the second and the third. You just cant help but spewing crap at me can you Jamie. I guess if I had as much money in my car as you did in your shop car that is only a couple tenths quicker I would have a sour taste in my mouth also. Better call your shop up and tell them to work some overtime so you can open up the gap between the cars before I catch up.

11 psi, 4400 rpm on the two step

That marker in front of me is the 60' mark http://shearerfab.com/blog/wp-content/gallery/2010_09_26-norwalk/2010_09_26-raylitz.jpg

Turning up the heat buddy Went to a track rental at Norwalk Sunday. It was cloudy but didn't rain, temp was nice and cool. First hit off the trailer come off the brake with a big tune up and it came up nicely less than a foot and just kept carrying. I was past the 60' when it came down, trouble was it must have came into the power and bounced up a little higher. I remember it drifting a little towards the wall as it came down the 330' mark was right in front of me. The damn thing carried the wheels almost to the 330'. I was REALLY happy when I saw the slip 8.30@166 with a 1.33 60' that was with the rear wheels. I cranked the front shocks the rest of the way tight. I was happy with the wheels staying low in the air but I need to get stiffer shocks to get the "bounce" out. Next hit was the same tune up but left softer a very smooth and uneventful pass. 8.32@166 with a 1.31 60' felt slow LOL Last pass was after sitting in the staging lanes for two hours waiting for them to cleanup after two oil downs. I put another 100 rpm on the two step and let it rip. Came up and carried a little less that the first pass. it bounced again but didn't carry near as far. It was drifting toward center when it came down and I was out of the groove, it spun and wiggled as I got back into the groove. On the big end right at the lights I must have hit some oil, the rear end kicked out hard as I was reaching for the chute. I corrected hard as I dumped the laundry, just as the car got straight the chute hit ending my ride. My heart was still pumping hard as I got my slip and saw the 8.29,,,,,, Mission accomplished! http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC01490.jpg

R5721-8 Projected tip #8 Part #7317 Gapped .023

wondering if it is unrelated Matt? Did you try putting the hotter plugs back in? Those plugs are pretty cold unless you were going to spray the car? I am running an NGK #8 right now.

Pic's look fine. Welcome to the show!

Glad you were able to put it to work. I hated the fact that it was collecting dust when I knew it would help someone out. There are a shitload of wires LOL

His car is nuts, it was the quickest there. He trapped 26mph faster than me on that run, passed me like I was parked.

This was qualifying. I was running low boost. 8.60 with only 14 psi is good for my car. Another view same race. This was against Mark Koeler (ohio boys) his car is in a different zipcode than mine

How the fuck can they keep doing that? The last time i remember NOT having to shim a converter in was when I didnt know enought to check it. Fuck throw it up and measure, Maybe the pump has been faced and you will have enough clearance. I only run .120 on my current setup

My 80,000 btu torpedo burns at the most a gallon of propaine an hour.

Man I hope this works for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I can squeeze in with you and Sam for a three way 99.99999% NWS gay wink

I have a wood stove that I use most of the time. I also have two propaine heaters, one is the single sunflower radiant type that just attaches to the 5 gal bottle. It works good for spot heating if I am only doing some bench work on a short term basis. The torpedo works great for heating the concrete floor. I tip the heater on its nose and direct all the heat on the concrete under the car. It doesnt matter if it is 80 in the shop, if your laying on the floor you will be cold without heating the concrete.

Sorry Jason but this has been a failed intro. Nice occupation by the way "Occupation: us seriveces"

Thank god it was the "hodgkins" type Lymphoma, the "non" has a much worse survival rate. I spent some time researching this all last year. I had a tumer last fall on my neck, the doctor was sure it was Lymphoma beacause of the tumor changing in size. It turned out it was a rare vascular tumor that was not malignant. Congrats on your remission and good luck with your deployment

There are a ton of them on ls1Tech http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5006085770_abbe547606_b.jpg
