I want to put an anti roll on there. The differential isn't right, too tight, the front brakes drag, and a good trans would finish the project, then we would have something. But you know I like the car and the smooth idle, its a nice change, I think we got a decent back up race car when the other cars aren't running.

Ok, well in the pics ( video may show a different story) the carvis coming up even. So something is already preventing roll.

NEW BEST at the slow track @ 1700 DA

1.43 60 foot
6.87 660 foot
10.89 @ 120.2xxx MPH

The fast track is .005 quicker and 1.2. MPH faster in the 660, that means high 10.70s @ 122 in 300-500 DA, couldn't be happier! Seem to be stuck @ 1.43 60 @ the slow track.

Great job Mark. The night I ran 10.90's with my 406 Vortec engine I had, my air was 2700ft.
1.48 60ft.
6.82 1/8 mile
10.92 in the 1/4 mile
Just didn't have the top end with the little cam I had in it at the time to run stronger on the big end, but I was not bitchin' one bit that night. :mrgreen:
