    I'm guessing around 475, give or take 50? I'll know better when i get a new converter and actually get all my power to the ground. Although my friends said the car looked like it had lots of power throughout the whole pass. I'll say it again, I Need Larry The Wizard with his video camera!! I need to see these passes!!! When I launched it felt good and shook but I guess i'm slipping a little too much.





    Thanks Ed. I'll call.

    Thanks Art. I checked the other day and it wasn't up yet I guess.

    I guess those 17 pages of thumb nails are all the shots he took huh?

    JW converter all the way! Have one myself and have gone 10.99 in my 64. Everyone said I would have traction problems on a 29.5 x 10 x 15 Mickey Thompson ET Drag with a 4500 stall converter. Car is all steel.

    Sweet!! What is your basic combo?

    And how did you get a 29.5 by 10 under there? What mods did you make?

    I'm running a 26 by 9. I know it's short but I got the slicks cheap. My next set will be a different size.

    I like em all steel myself. 3950 with me in it. You?

    So here's the only video I was able to get. I had a friend of mine do it. I never used this function before. There's a 1 minute limit I guess. Done as soon as I get staged. DAMN!!!!!!

    This won't happen again.
