I got to make 4 good hits yesterday at a track rental @ Steele, AL. The track was hooking and I got some good data to adjust my tune with. Overall it was a great day with 4 passes. Didn't break anything and once I chewed the drivers ass (me) he did alot better on the last 3 passes. Those of you paying attention will notice my brake lights stayed on for the last 2 passes. Yes, my brakes were partially engaged for those 2 runs due to a sticking master cylinder. Makes me wonder what it would have ran without having to overpower the brakes? :tup: Enjoy

5.33 @ 129 with the brakes dragging... dang.

Is it just the way the video looks or is the groove squirrelly there?

My 5 year old daughter watched it - "Wow! That was fast! Is that your pickup Dad?"

No, but we can all dream, can't we?

Re: Sy 0383 track rental

The 60 foot times were all from 1.24 to 1.26. It is set up and geared for 1/4 mile and this was 1/4 mile track but I'm still getting aquainted with the power and will keep it to 1/8th mile for now. I've only ran 21 psi so far so I have a ways to go until she's at full potential. I'm thinking 4.80 if the sun & moon all line up. :lol:
Tell Gerber to bring it on. It would be fun. :tup:

Mike looks good. What converter? It comes up on boost nice at the line. I'm struggling a bit with mine at the moment.

It's a custom PTC sourced through Dusty Bradford. You can get his contact info over on TurboBuick.com It was spot on, 1st try and he cut me a good deal to boot.

Did we all forget about Ed Hess?? He would probably give him a good run too.
