New best W/T56 10.41 @ 136 Pump gas driven to track, video also

Was able to hit track last night, got stuck in traffic on HWY due to wreck for about 50 minutes idling and inching up killing clutch I am sure..
Get to track mis first run. Get car cooled, first pass slip clutch pretty hard getting feel for track, try to keep in 4th gear at end, started breaking up pretty bad 7000.. 1.73 60ft, 10.54 @ 136, second pass come out a little harder w/1.63, 6.80 @ 108, 10.41 @ 136 in 5th gear again. bottom out hard at end also( Then got dismissed for not having cage.. I will hit high 20s with this set-up, but won't be able to again till cage is in. 28" tire will help lots also, and getting 60ft back down to where it was N/A @ 1.50. BUt should hit 1.4's with bite, tarck prep always sux there.
Orr89rocz was cool enough to come visit and get some vid, great guy, building killer turbo motor.. Thanks again orr.

Feel good it improved, wish I had another try. Pretty decent pump gas, 125ish shot.. May start running N/A again to try for high 10.. Cas has gone 11.0 N/A same set-up with 10 bolt.

You need that cage at 135 mph even if you don't get into the 9's At least you got two 136 mph runs so you know the engine makes consistent power even with the NOS.

The front end must have really come down hard when you let off at the end. That was quite a spark show.

Nice runs. Produced and directed by Orr. Eleven's NA is pretty stout.

The track sucks. Left lane has a hell of a dip at the finish line and any low car with soft fronts will bottom out as it goes from flat to uphill at that dip.

ANyway, that car kicks a**! Sound is unreal and it runs very very hard for whats in it. I wonder what it would do with a set of new AFR eliminator 210's?

Next time you go out, let me know if you want to try that split flow muffler.

Oh and at the 47 second mark on your 1-2 shift, the front wheels are off the ground. Pause it and you can see air

Thanks Guys, Should go high 10 N/A I think, as said it has gone 11.0 with 10 bolt still. Not to disapointed, real happy about the MPH, still a little lazy on my shifts compared to last year, and 60s are still off as well... only second time back out with car since 8 months ago. Want to get some 28'S now, hook it up and be able to go through traps in 4th on spray...
But even N/A they are going to target me now until cage is in..

Orr: I really wish I had gone 220's now, I think it would help alot..
Thanks again for vid, any way you can email it to me? t_kadar@comcast.net
