It was a good night in the Mopar lane, and a huge bust every where else.
I have never seen so many broke shafts or axles in one hour..... The
night was dangerous, but I have good news....

How the R/T was equipped for last nights fun.

I have new NKG Plugs (I still think the gapping is wrong)
I have a short belt bypassing the A/C and Power Assistance pulleys
I still have the 14x3 K&N on the Mr. Gasket.
I removed a piece of rubber thing from the passenger side grill for air
flow. It was up by the radiator, kinda of an obstruction, but probably
keeps dirt out.
Still run the heavy duty 180 Stat.
Did the hood up make engine cold thing, push in the staging lanes this
time (major pain with those 17x9s up front).
Miscued on the gas, again. Only had it down to a have tank (supposed to
be a quarter tank).
I dropped the spare tire, kept the tail gate up cuz no difference in my
runs.
Still have the dual after cat exhaust w/ 2.5 pipes and Magnaflow
Mufflers.
Front tire pressure about 38 lbs. Rear tire pressure about 24 lbs.
First run had about 32 up front and 25 in the rear....

And the results are....

First run w/ the fiancée (about 110lbs.) riding shotgun....
60' 2.107 down from a 2.180
330 6.149 down from a 6.330
1/8 9.544 down from a 9.798
1000 12.503 down from a 12.831
¼ 15.019 down from a 15.04 @ 89.36 up from 87.46 MPH

Second run tires wet blew a 16.11 all sideways at the 60' got spanked by
a '99 Prelude, don't laugh..... It was a tough night for all of us.

Third run same Prelude

No fiancée in the seat....

60' 2.138
1/8 9.442
¼ 14.84 @ 90.40 MPH
Spank me a Prelude, he ran a 15.68 @ 89 hahahahahaha....Revenge.

The cobra buddies are getting nervous, hahahaha....
They only ran a 14.7 at best last night.
Thanks for the short belt help guys. I can't wait for the next add
on.... It should be a B&F TB.... I won't progress anywhere else until
then.... Oh going to do the slick thing soon, yee haw.... I am waiting
for a few more tenths before I have 4Duh Eater on the front of the
windshield, hahahahaha... I figure when I hit a 14 flat I will have it
written. Thanks everyone for the help and inspiration.
