Waking up the beast

You blew me away by pulling out jet and getting your all time best. I guess it kinda made sense since the air was so bad. You're a smart mofo. WTG buddy.
 
Either genius or stupidity. Without a datalogger it was a 50/50 shot. The plugs looked good to me and I was so rich from the last time out, that I decided to go leaner. Even though it felt like it was running lean.
 
Clamped the leaf springs yesterday. Whether it worked or not, I don't know, but just did a 1.570 60 ft. Time.
 
No kiddin, you went from self proclaimed zero to hero. Great job, man, you hit every target you shot for, right?

And then some. Never dreamed to be in the 30's with this car as it was built. I even impressed myself which is very hard to do. Thanks oh yeah, read my Nendra post.
 
So my car seems very sensitive to changes in the air. After jetting down with the DA at 1800 ft. Saturday, then making my best pass to date, the air changed again for Sunday morning. When I made my first pass Sunday, the DA was @ 450Ft. The car then made a 11.40 run. Left it alone and the next pass was 11.38 with the DA @ 255ft. Went up for the next round it was was lean. Popping on the burnout. Slowed to 11.6 and sputtering at top end. Obviously too late to fatten it up as I already lost. Checked the DA this morning and it was @ 98ft! So going from my fastest pass @255ft. to spitting and popping at 98ft. Quite the change.
 
OK, I'm off to get something. Check back later.
 
Here she is!
