    LOL, yep, get one pass in at Norwalk, while waiting for your second pass, you could probably change cyl. heads, intake, maybe the cam too, then go home cause you'll NEVER get a second pass in:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Yes it does, I made about 7 passes at the Buick bash, and on the last 2 passes got my best ET and MPH so far, so it took 7 passes to get my baseline, NOW if I can start at my 13.44 this year and get better that would be tits:D

    More motor!!
    More gears can come and go later and much easier. Then you go from high 12's to mid 12's..and if the mid 12 gears are to much you go back to upper 12's..
    Hope I made some sense??o_O

    If you want to keep your 3.42 gears how about a low gear set for the th350. Ati and others make a 2.75 planetary which would improve your early numbers. Also work on getting the suspension to move as freely as possible, maybe delrin bushings for example. Have a couple of buddies video the car from both sides on each pass to see what it's really doing and study it carefully. Any early improvements really add up at the end of the quarter

    The track I was going to here in NC "piedmont", some days you could just go round and round and round and round.
