Track tonight after LT install

Going down to Bithlo tonight, hopefully the weather will hold out. I'd like to see at least high 13s now that the long tubes are on. Last visit I had 3@14.2 and 3@14.0 which was pretty aggravating. Wish me luck fellas

I went there once when I was living in Boston, but now I'm closer to Lebanon Valley Dragway so that's where I go

That's cool, I used to live in Derry a long time ago. When I was little lol. Anyway, made four passes last night. 13.65 13.56 13.67 and a 13.84(tried to adjust the launch and it started raining). I'm really pleased, I mean the headers made a 1/2 second jump. Nuts.... The second pass I made which was the fastest, I had a 2.0 60' but I missed 2nd and ground it just a little. I think with some more practice, experience, and better weather I can get low 13s, my buddy thinks maybe even high 12s.

Now you know why I have an automatic with a Precision Industries 3500 stall torque converter and an extremely aggressive tune on the engine and transmission. It is a little bit edgy at slow speeds but there isn't a manual shift guy that could keep up. I never miss a shift. Please all the manual guys proceed to take your shots......... When I was younger I loved rowing thru the gears. But on my best day I could never shift like today's automatics with a great tune.

Yea man I hear ya. It's not the same though, as you know. But there's no doubt that with a good tune and converter autos eats my snack all day. Stock autos are bs the tune makes a big difference. I just like the added control. I get to talk more **** after I put it on kids haha
