Shane, Great runs there man!!!! Congratulations on 13.8's, almost a 13.7!!
woo man, that is awesome. Track was hooking up considerably better than last
month!! Short times at Cecil back in Nov were around 2.00 ??!! Makes a big
difference at the other end! Thats probably why you lost some speed, I
notice the same thing with my truck when the track is hooking good, ET goes
down, as well as MPH. Thats ok, I'll take those good low ET's. I'm assuming
that 1.89 60' was a Personal best for you???
I hit the 1.88 60' mark right before my spider gears decided to let go!!
Just think Shane, a 5spd behind that 360, and you're looking at low 13's !!
;-)
Congrats!
Matt Y2K-HEMI
