Well we had a awsome night down here for racing. Cool weather about 46 and the track was prepped awsome. My buddy told me to remove the front sway bar so I did. I really didnt think it would make that big of a difference, but I was wrong.

Only made a couple N/A passes, nothing too great. Still figuring out the launch.
Pass #1 Missed 4th
60'- 1.82
1/8 -8.10 @ 88.47
1/4- 12.72 @ 106

Pass#2 N/A
60'- 1.66
1/8- 7.86 @88.71
1/4- 12.24 @ 113.4

First bottle run. Was pretty happy with this run, but it had more.
60'- 1.85
1/8- 7.59 @ 96
1/4- 11.55 @ 124.6

bottle run #2. Started pulling front tire. LOL
60'- 1.65
1/8- 7.28 @ 95.63
1/4- 11.25 @ 122.3

Bottle run #3. Pretty much the same
60'- 1.71
1/8- 7.33 @ 96.96
1/4- 11.28 @ 124.6

Now here is where I figured out how to drive finally. I got all of the runs on video and I was pulling both fronts pretty good.

Bottle run #4
60'- 1.56 ( I almost shit myself. LOL)
1/8- 7.10 @ 97.8
1/4- 11.03 @ 124.7 ( Almost there.)

bottle run #5
60'- 1.52 ( Best ever)
1/8- 7.06 @ 97.22
1/4- 11.04 @ 123.5


Over all I am really happy with the car and cant believe how much pulling the front sway bar made a difference in the way the car leaves. I will post some vids at a later time.

thanks guys. Next time it will be 10.90s for sure. When I think about it, the last time I raced at NED I went 11.91 @ 122 on the bottle. I had the stock 10bolt and shitty LS7 clutch and a bad 2nd gear.

I havent added any more power since then, but upgraded the rear/tranny/clutch/tires. And I finally learned to drive this thing. Just goes to show ya what good parts will do. Oh yeah the car weighed in at 3730 (PIG) with me in it. And I only weigh 160.
