WOW ... that's what I thought when the time and speed flashed
up.
I had been running the MP SBEC for about 2 months on the
streets and noticed the improved throttle response and
the performance gain. My guess was that it would give a
.2 to .4 gain in the 1/4.
Actually, if my son's reaction time on this run had equalled
his best, it would have gone 15.9_ ; possibly 15.8_. He
was worried about traction so he launched just above idle,
did the one-two shift manually by ear and let it shift
the rest of the way automatically because he was afraid that
he might hurt something. Also, after a 2 hour lineup wait,
he forgot to take the overdrive off.
We both felt pretty good after this. Two R/Ts ran ...
one did 16.8_ and the other did 15.7_. Naturally,
Jon had the best Dakota time and speed.
We're going to hook up the tach from my '78 B100 340
and run with the BFG drag radials next.
