My real goal is a 1.7 sec 60'. regardless of my ET's at least that means im doing my job right as a driver. I have been plagued by 2.2-60s, but that was before the new clutch. lots of unknowns for me this season.

jd.... ur motor as it sat on the 11.5 run? or have u been holding out on us with more work lol
I got the trans to finally shift right and it went 11.6, 11.59, and then 11.50 on three back to back runs. The only change I made was to gasket match the heads and change the valve springs. Previous best was 11.8. I am still way off on the tune, injectors are over 100% duty cycle and the timing is off a good bit (but safe). I think the car has a 11.2 in it as it sits. The plan is to pull more weight out and mabe go with a little more gear and try and launch it harder. I am trying for a high 1.4 60 foot this year.....on a 10 bolt

i like cordova and tristate. CFR can kiss my ***.

I keep forgetting ur from iowa. maybe this spring well get as many midwesterners as we can and hit an iowa/illinois border track. I know JD and sideways are close enough to make it, assuming we can schedule around their growing family demands.

btw jd, i remember when u had ur first lol. didnt even know a 2nd was on the way let alone already here. congrats man

Yea he was born in May. I might be able to make it out there sometime this summer as the youngest will be a year old by then. How far into Iowa are you? There are actually a few guys from here and MF that are in the Cordova area.
