plan on going out and making a few hits on the rr. Only time they will let me run it without dinging me for not having a cage, harnesses, yadayada. Haven't ran it with the PTC converter yet, so we will see how that goes. It may be a bit on the tight side for good ET. Also put a 2" carb spacer on it. Weather looks good as of now!

Wish I wasn't headed west thursday, I'd come watch!
 

I think I could have got it there with the other converter. Not too sure with this one. Hard to tell on the street though, it just plain feels out of control on these old country roads. I'll post back the results Saturday hopefully. Going out on a limb and driving it there again.
 
It's 3760 without me. I'm 240 so that puts me at 4g. 4.10 gear with a 28" tire. Not sure on the hp, figure it's a bit north of 600.

Ive seen 123.4mph with the single four. Six pack has been 122.9. That through 3" delta flows

If it hooks it should go 10.90-11.00 I’d guess.
 
What convertor did you go to? The PTC 3500 9 1/2?

It's a custom 9 1/2, flashes around 4400. The tci that broke would go around 4700. The PTC is a great converter, they adjusted it for the street so it's real tight cruising around. I may need to have it loosened up though if i'm going for ET.

I had them build me a street/strip for mine, haven't had it out yet. Same as you wanted it tight on lockup for my OD.
 
Hows the prep at No ET? How many passes typically? Last one I was at was a Zoo. I was planning on going Sunday.

Prep had been really good at the few I've went too. Gotta get there early and get out early. It does tend to get rough as the day goes on. You can get a bunch of passes early, starts to jam up as the day goes on and they set the big top up..

I think I'll spend an extra hour and drive to 131 on Saturday as rain is forecast on Sunday. Prep there has always been good.

Been to 131 once in 2009 for pinks. Really neat place. One of these years I'll get an inclosed and actually do some serious racing with the dart.

I plan on going out there to spectate & help tune some of the NOS cars out there. Guess I will see you out there & will look for your R.R.
 
Well, not in the cards. Got visitors from Canada, and I don't have a jacket for my big *** body.
