[Mike Gaines]

Well, I got my first 3 time slips in the 10.50 range....2 in 10.59's and 1 in 10.58's and highest mph yet at over 126mph this last weekend at Famoso. Will post pixs of time slips tomorrow.

Congrats! You're having too much fun. I bet you're cutting some pretty good lights too. Very consistent foot braking!

I like seeing the reactions of people watching a big old Mopar running tens! Thanks for keeping us posted!

I would guess closer to 6,800, providing low converter rpm loss & bias tires.

6500 thru the lites @ the 126mph.
Converter is 5000 flash by Lenny at Ultimate Converter in North Carolina.
I shift 1-2 and 2-3 both at 6100.
Launch at 3000rpm off the footbrake.

Nice going Mike. Congrtas on 10.50's. I know I use 4.30's with the Hoosier 30 x 9 radial slick and I trap about 6400 with the 9.5 Dynamic converter that will flash about 4200. Ron
