Looking good Tony.

Nice

Get Some !!! Nice Times.

Looks good and I bet it sound really good.

It was the first couple of passes with the nitrous. when it came on it sounded like a second engine joined the first ! I will update all next week when I put the converter in the car that will actaully transfer the power to the rear wheels instead of wasting the RPM's. No more "on the motor" passes for me. Just like a drug, I am hooked for life.

Nice Ride !!!

BAD ASS!!!

Rockin"!!!

Took the T-Bird to New England Dragway last weekend. Same NOS tune up but turned the system on 5 hundreths into the run and addded a 10 inch Dynamic converter.

107.5 60 ft
4.64 @ 152.98 half track
7.20 @ 192.58 out the back door

More next week. Going to Atco Raceway to test the next NOS tune up. Stay tuned.

ShIooT do you need a driver for that car?

I'd say "old Betsy" can handle it! Very cool numbers!

Wow, thats a whole lotta "Get Some".......

Thanks guys. The car has been working nicely. The converter isnt super agressive which is probably helping the chassi. I am aming for the 6 second zone @ 200 before the season is over.

Are Hollering OH MY FREAKIN GOD ..................

Very nice numbers. Good luck on the quest for the 6's

A door car running 4.60's in the 1/8th is moving right along, damn fine lap. Getting to the 50's might be a simple tweak, or a combination of a few things. Got any close up launch video from a rear/driver side angle so we can see what the car/tires are doing?

some questions........

Is there a small/large/no amount of initial tire rotation before the actual hook?

How hard is the sidewall getting hit/wound-up?

How hard are the wheelie bars hitting the ground?

How tight (from "full tight") is the shock's extension & compression valving set?

How much air pressure?
