10.17 Time slip pixs

[Mike Gaines]

I wanted to post 3 pictures for my fellow mopar guys.
1) Picture of my now personal best prized 10.170 timeslip where I dialed in at 10.17 and ran a perfect 10.170 ET for the win.
2) Picture of my car launching off the transbrake
3) Picture of my new T-Shirts my brother Pat had made up for the races. He made me up 10 shirts so me and the fellas who go with me to the races will all have the same shirts.

Good job on dialing the car in. I've been following your progress for a couple of years now and it been very impressive. Congratulations on the win too.
Edit: where did you get the shirts done?

My brother had them made up by a fella in Indiana. They were $22 each, 10 shirts at a time, plus UPS frt.
They are top quality, heavy knit t-shirts and the graphic printing is excellent. They are similar to the $40 T-shirts sold at the NASCAR tracks with you favorite NASCAR driver on the shirt.
I will get his phone number and post it on PM's

Ported the EZ heads to about 330cfm and brought them out to MAX WEDGE size, new INDY max wedge single plane intake, 1" spacer...those changes took it down 3/10th of a second to 10.30 then I installed new 29" tall HOOSIER stiff sidewall slicks (from my 28" tall MT STREETS) AND a.new A&A tranny with transbrake. Installed a 3 step Rev limiter to my msd 6al box. ... 5000 chip for the water box, 6800 chip (so I won't over Rev it) and 4000 launch chip for my transbrake button... when I pop that button it GOES !!!. I THINK all those upgrades would have taken me to around 10.25... then to go 10.17 to 10.19 @131+mph, I had good adjusted altitude in the range of 1000 to 1250 feet for the last 2 races in November (air is normally around 2500 to 3000 feet in the summer when it is 100 degrees). Went to the SEMI ROUND (last 4 cars) at both races. Broke out in one semi final, went 10.248 on my 10.250 dial (it was index racing so I had to put 80lbs in the car and slow it to 10.25) and in the other race in the semi final I red lit by .002.....but still went 10.174. I had 1 round where I went 10.170 ony 10.17 dial. Ran between 10.170 and 10.195 all day ( for 5 rounds).
