Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.

Got to the track last weekend. New carburetor(self built HP1000) and some new rear tires (315/60/15) 30" et streets. Ran a total of nine times(they let me run the fast lane all night) It was a street night so hardly no prep. I ended up spinning 7 of the 9 passes I made. I think one of the rear coils is going bad or im having trouble with one of the trailing arms. The ride height is off side to side in the rear and I kept unloading the rear left tire. Transmission was slipping into second gear(ended up losing second on the way home). Best 60' was a 1.75 and a best et of 7.70@ 88.7 I did get a new best MPH on pump gas spinning pretty hard. 90.4 MPH my best MPH out of this motor on 104 octane was 91. Gotta pull the transmission out and take to the rebuilder and see what I broke(guessing sprag let go--making noise while slipping second gear) and after that im gonna put a set of coilovers on the rear with an adjustable panhard setup and get back out there and tear it up again!
