Your car is running great!

Did you hit the 2-3 as good as you wanted? The audio on my computer is not great.

No doubt you will go 11's. This is very neat to see an NPI head car do this.

One last question, what race weight, 60ft, DA, and MPH do you think you need to get there?

thanks guys, the DA was about 100 feet, the race weight was 3400 lbs exactly, and i run M/T et streets, they have the 3 little lines around them to make them "street legal"

winters: i want to see about 1.5 60's, hoping to get the race weight down to about 3100-3200, more suspension, and it get it tuned right! my 2-3 shift was pretty good

Click to expand...

what size are those et streets? do you have the et street IIs? Oh, are those the radials or bias ply tires?

Those are good time you need to get you mph up to around 113 or 114 to see 11's.

According to my calculator with the engine/tune as is, dropping 200lbs from that fat weight it has will have it doing 112MPH. Between a weight drop, more gear, proper intake elbow, tune, and actually reving the thing where it wants to be it has the potential to be the fastest NPI NA car at the moment.

The DA last night was right around -500 feet about 9:30.

I saw your car out there last night but didn't get a chance to come by and say hi. RPM is a huge factor for a car like yours. Mine would see a solid 3-4 MPH difference between shifting at 6000 versus 6800.

Man that thing was moving! It's really impressive what you've done and are still doing to the car. It's definetely quick and one of the fastest npi's i've seen. I think you're changing a lot of people's minds about going pi. Keep up the good work!
