    Mike your goin to catch hell trying to make it hook off the line. Buicks have so much tourqe that it always is tricky! Try leaving on motor and as you go into second grab the button(of course im assuming you have a button and not a wot switch) It always been worth 8-9 tenths for me that could put you where you want to be. What kind of tires are you running now since i know you lik to burn them up lol.

    What up Dawg...

    275 60 15 MT dr's. You know, I haven't really thought about that much, they might be toast? So far I have had some good feed back after that pass. Here are some idea's I / we will be doing before I head out again:

    Drop 5+ heat ranges on the plugs. At 62 going to mid to high 50's (Champion)
    Timing from 35 ish to 30-32
    removed the rear air bags in the rear springs
    changed the front shocks to 60-40 ds and 70-30 ps
    change the oil, it was due
    fix the trans brake and launch at 3/4 $. The NOS micro switch hits at 90% wot
    Maybe add 20' of N.O.S. hose after the nos sol. to soften the hit
    Find a NOs progressive controller,

    BG is possible, but I doubt I'll make it. I have been racing Harescrambles and that along with Duck hunting season coming up in Oct my guess is my change pocket will be pissed at me by then :) ...

    Not a great pass... the guy next to me ran 10.0. Not knowing what was going to happen I let him take off a bit before me.. What you can't see is how bad the tires blew off the track three times. All I did was lift off the gas 1/4 of the way, taking the secondary throttle plate off the NOS micro switch. Well, you can see it right off the line...

    I let it idle in the trailor for a couple extra min just to smell the 112 .. And it Was Good :TU:

    I think I'll be riding my dirt bike in the basement today, it has 110 premix.. Maybe it will stick to all my clothes hanging down there!

    I lost my spot in the Body shop until summer. A friend of mine. So it will be painted this fall / winter. Same color as stock. Were still hanging on to the "sleeper" look for now :TU:

    Well, not going as planned. But I am yanking the motor to bring to Finishline for a re-fresh. It doesnt have anything going on with it, I'll just feel a bit better with some new rings etc...
