Nope. Out of town Thursday until July 12th. I am going to try to work a few visits in the rest of July but I'm out again for most of August.



With various problems I missed the Spring, I spend most of the Summer out of town, so Fall will be it. I have made exactly 7 runs this year, 3 with a worthless clutch, two with a serious bog off the line, and only two decent shots down the track, a 12.0 and an 11.8.



Bah!

In the 8th?? Honestly without the spray I am only pushing about 320rwhp and maybe 450 with the spray. My big advantage is going to be the transbrake and the auto tranny but I dont think I am gonna be using the transbrake or the spray this week unless I cant get out of the 13's without them!!!



The good news is last night I helicoiled one of the bolts that were stripped in my transpan and it was cake. Hell I didnt even drop the pan took me all of 15 minutes and that was taking my time!!

my roomate has a 98 TA, he ran a 12.3 2 summers ago with basically a stock engine, lid, ported MAF, cut out and 3k stall converter on drag radials. I think that with a similar engine in a much lighter car you should be there. I dunno if you have a cam, but that also made a huge difference last year.

No cam but I do have a similar setup to him except I have a 3800 stall converter, 4.1 gears, Intake and exhaust mods are similar and oh yeah I have that little 120 shot of the giggle gas for emergencies

the 4.1 could be a problem! haha, his runs were made on the stock 2.73 gear and even then it had 1.6 and lower 60ft on nittos. You'll be pulling the wheels off the ground with that thing!
