I asked him if it was cool to post it up and he said it was... Hopefully he will have more to add later.

Nice to see everyone today, sure was alot of fun and no MACA members broke!lol

Weather and track conditions at Cecil were ideal to run a number today. Jon Lund mentioned the DA this morning around the time of my first pass was -600!

First run of the day I figured I'd take it easy and make a blower only pass. I honestly could not believe it when I got my time slip, the run didnt feel as clean as some of my others...

1.44 60'
4.26 330'
6.56 1/8
108.00 mph!!!
8.54 1000'
10.21 1/4
136.12 mph

More then happy with this run I figured I'd take a shot at a 9 on the spray. First pass I forgot to arm the system while admiring the John Force like burnout going on in the other lane. Next pass I couldnt get the tranny into 2nd gear...

1.38 60'!!!
4.35 330'
6.69 1/8
107.57 mph
8.65 1000'
10.27 1/4
140.23 mph!!!

Next run the car wanted to change lanes so had to pedal it...

1.43 60'
4.25 330'
6.54 1/8
107.46 mph
8.48 1000'
10.08 1/4
141.50 mph!!!

This would be my best ET of the day...

1.47 60'
4.17 330'
6.43 1/8
109.49 mph
8.39 1000'
10.03 1/4
137.75 mph

Noticed my bottle pressure was starting to fall off on the big end and knew the bottle was getting low. Thought maybe I'd have enough for one more try at a 9...

1.49 60'
4.17 330'
6.46 1/8
108.38 mph
8.42 1000'
10.07 1/4
136.86 mph

Man you got your mph you were looking for. Almost got that nine and I guess that stock diff held up better than I thought....

yeah, but I will let him post and I don't know all the details, just some of them. I do know his converter is fried and has been all day. he didn't have time to get another. although the converter may be fine, but the lock up isn't. hell if I know, auto's are new to me.

I'd say it held up, carried the front end one of my passes to the 60' marker. I noticed very little difference between my old setup(locker/4.10's) and the stock diff and gears other then my shift points. I got the 60' times and mph I needed, just couldnt put it together. Oh well, theres always next year...:beer:
