134+mph !! easy 9 second pass. good job

Only 2 passes today.
Its amazing how fast this felt after being out of the car for 16 months.
There's more in the car and the driver.
Strong head wind today and a 2600 da.
I was being a little safe but am happy with the results.
I didn't try the 2" spacer that made power on the dyno.
I think I may need a longer throttle cable for that.

I also need new slicks.

that's mph easily for a mid 9.70 pass
at your car's weight maybe even better than the 9.70's et range
liked the 9.99 @ 135 pass on the video
but really hard to tell in that video what it's doing down track

good luck dialing her in

I agree.
I still have the old converter in as well.
I just wanted to shake the rust off. I honestly was only listening to the motor to shift.
I have a lot more work to do on myself.
It looks like we'll have some good weather next weekend so we'll see.

2" spacer is on and now its coming back off.
Throttle cable misses by a half inch.
I saw the dyno numbers with and without but I really want to do an actual test.
New cable is ordered and hopefully I'll be testing it next weekend.
