Went to the track for the first time in 11 or 12 years yesterday.

Did a couple shake down passes coming out of the hole super lazy running 11.7 @129 and 11.4 @ 129.

Then finally figured out I needed to do 2nd gear burnouts and launch off idle. Ran a 10.54 then hot lapped a 10.86 and hot lapped a 10.75.

I had to pedal all three passes at the 75-100 foot mark. I need some time to play with the viking shocks. I ran them at 3C 6R yesterday but I think I could have shave another tenth off if I didn't pedal it.

DA was 1400-1500, 15-20 mph headwind and 57 degrees. Track elevation is 915 ft.

Mods
Lund 93 tune 17 degrees of timing
VMP gen2 2.4 upper/stock lower Logs show 16 psi
VMP 72 mm Throttle body
PMAS 120 intake
Dynatech header, off road X stock mufflers
VMP heat exchanger
6R80 swap with a 2C converter
Fore return system (for E85 next year)
Viking rear shocks/Dead hooker springs BMR rear sway bar, Upper/lower control arms and pan hard bar
295/55/15 ET Street SS at 14.5 psi cold
235/55/17 fonts
BMR K-member no front sway bar

This winter adding 1320Junkie ported lower manifold and DD149 PMAS, J2fab intercooler kit/trunk tank, IW 10% lower with 2.5 upper and E85. Hoping for a high 9 next spring which should be easy with E85 and a lower pulley when I get the suspension dialed in.

Thanks, It was cloudy and cold with the wind. They have 2 more planned but it looks like 50 and rain both days so far.

Went and got groceries a couple nights before.

Have you dyno'd the car? Looks like a few solid runs! Thought it might MPH a bit higher, but with 17* of spark, maybe not.

Moving to a larger lower pulley is going to wake that thing up! Cant wait to slap a lower on mine.

Car looks good!

Thanks. The auto I am sure hurts the MPH a bit. The only dyno I have was on 15 degrees of timing and rich (it was the first tune he sent me) it put out 647 in 3rd with an unlocked converter. So I am guessing its closer to 675-680 now but until I get the select shift swapped in I cant dyno in 4th it shifts out of gear to fast in D.
