Just saw this. Nice job, Joe! .13 is a big jump in ET, especially when you DROPPED gear. It also shows me how pathetic my times are when I'm running darn near the same speed but am .8 seconds slower. Wish I had more time to get to the track to sort out my launches, cause that's where my problems are at.

Anyway, congrats on making good progress. I'd be pretty happy with that for a nice street car. Keep fiddling away at the tuning and I'm sure you'll find even more!

Thanks Doug I do have some cubes on ya though remember that. I think I told you about that Corvette I raced, it’s weird he holds it to like 3500 let’s go of the clutch let’s it grip then stabs it.
He is very consistent with the way he does it. He’s a really nice guy but the son of a bitch beat me twice. I will find the video and send it to ya one day so you can study it. I only say this cause anybody can just let it fly but I’m sure you don’t want to break a bunch of stuff also. Ok gotta go going to Pinks all out today see ya.

Ok guys was to busy yesterday but
1st pass yesterday was 11.16@ 119.66 really
Took off that’s my fastest time ever.
Backed it up with a 11.26@ 120.38 it felt just as good
But who knows my 60 foot was alittle off.
Trying to find out by talking to a bunch of guys what group
There gonna pick it seems around 11.30 is the magic number
so I put my air cleaner on to slow it up and ran a 11.24@ 119.24
so go figure
Ok gotta go to staging lanes

[Stangman]

Well my first qualifying pass today was an 11.25@ 119.68 so I thought I was were
I wanted to be going by the guys that I was talking to.
Then I made my second qualifying pass and ran an 11.11@ 121.11 and as
Much as I want to be happy because it’s my fastest time ever it might have taken me
out of that tight little bracket. Alittle upset about that because I wanted
to be in it.

Great stuff, congrats.
Can’t wait to be out there.

Now you have gained three tenths and five MPH?

I'd be bummed out too - - for about two seconds....!

[Drew Pojedinec]

.03 too fast?  here in south Georgia we go to the track with 50lb sacks of corn just for that reason.

[Stangman]

Thanks guys hey I was very happy. The group they picked was between 11.40-11.60. Now I did
bring my exhaust with me might of put me in the right spot for the day but who know. Just want to thank all you guys for all your help

[Barry_R]

You might just have a "10" in there with a little luck 

[cjshaker]

You don't wanna be hangin' around with them 'slow' guys anyway

Nice job, Joe! Sounds like you're really getting things worked out. Now all you have to do is work on consistency. I'd be pretty darn happy with those improvements, all while making it EASIER on the engine.
