FINALY! Made it to the Track.

What a great night. Went to the West Barbour Drag strip out near Louisville, AL. When I drove up into the track it was empty and no one there at 3pm today. After a bit the owner of the track walked up and asked me if I was there to run. I said of course and that I haven't run her in 3 yrs. About that time someone else pulled up with an S10 on a trailor. The owner was great. He didn't charge us a thing and I got 4 runs in. The last run he put down some track prep so I could hook. I was trapping 91mph in the 1/8th all night. The last run I actually hooked with the following times:

60" - 1.631
1/8th - 7.603
MPH - 91.13

With the new additions I have managed to gain 4mph. I didn't get to tune any due to my software not sincing up but I'm sure I can get another mph or two out of it and about .05 to .1 in the 60' on a good day. The track was super cold due to only two of us even there with the track owner/his wife and son. O yeah I had Joanna there taking video. I'll upload a video for you guys to see in a bit.

Overall it felt realy great, and you guys who have been following my issues know, to get out to the track without anything breaking and driving home 30 minutes one way. Overall I'm stoked on the shakedown passes and can't wait to get this thing diled in some more. It's still got another 2 to 3 tenths in the whole combo I'm sure. All N/A by the way. Haven't put her on the juice yet.

^Yeah about 11.8 something. That was on a full turn of preload on my lifters and spinning the 1-2 shift when I got out of the track prep. I've reset the rockers to 1/4 turn and am going to try and get them set just right for the next run. Hopefully with a little better track prep and some tuning I can get about 1-2mph and a 7.4xx out of her. All I need for that is .104. Trying to get her to low 7.4s at 92-93mph then start shooting the juice.

That calculates to an 11.8?

We went 7.48-7.49 in the 1/8th at the same mph a while back, and it calculated out to an 11.8 or so.

Yes it has, been busy with things, but been finding free time every now and then.

I'm not sure exactly on the calculation, I just remember when the car went 7.48 we were happy as can be it should have been an 11.8, had the run a full 1/4.
