    Rowing my own

    Just a low 11 second test pass at Norwalk ... Changed car over to 28" tall rears and 4.30 gears ... Was a little worried since the gear calculators put me in the middle of a 4.30 and 4.56 ... Note shift light pops on right at the stripe :)

    Nice pass Bob. Does your tranny have a face plate or pro shift mod,
    with no synchronizers?

    Maybe small small block ;)

    Still at 30# right now.

    at this race, I had 112 in the tank. I am just starting on a race gas tune up ... To be able to race on the 11-0 index I'm going to need more boost. So for this race I started with the fuel and bringing more timing in. The MPH was down because of the fuel, but it's picking up a solid 26 mph from 1/8th to 1/4. A little more timing and then I can bring the boost in.

    while slowly working on that, I changed a bunch of stuff on suspension and it's going the right way too. Basically setting the stage to be 10.90 in the heat.
