Default Took 55 to test&tune

It was sprinkling rain on and off today and they kept shutting track down. I got one pass ON STREET TIRES(18 in) and went 15.02 @ 101 mph My 60 ft was TERRIBLE - 2.9. I am happy cause I know it will do better with slicks. Now I've got all winter to get posi, shifter, steering box. The wind was really bad and we were running straight into it. I almost let off on the big end cause between the high wind and my worn out original steering box it sure WOKE me up!!!! 1st gear was a joke(smokeshow). Overall, I'm happy. I drove it in and run it. I didn't even open the hood!

That's respectful, how did you like stopping after 101 MPH?

Default Test & Tune

At first glance looks like you "took 55 testosterone", but in a way that's what you did.

101MPH is fast enough to run very low 13s. You should see a big improvement next time if you are able to get traction.
