New motor and Trans work (104-105mph in the 1/8)..

[Super73]

I have been dealing with a few minor issues here and there and just got done with a fun day of racing in Dos Palos. This is the event where there are no clocks, 1973 and early, arm drop 1/8 mile. Traction is always a little bit of an issue because it gets breezy and it's dusty, but it sure is fun!!

If my G-tech RR is right (which it's consistantly about .1 and 1mph optamistic compared to the track), the two passes that I used on it looked like this:

Rolled in to throttle and did not have to lift
60' = 2.03
330' = 4.988
1/8 = 7.373 @ 105.25

Rolled in to throttle and had to peddle it about 60' feet out as it started to go sideways.
60' = 2.01
330' = 5.076
1/8 = 7.50x @ 104.12


Obviously I have to throw the ET out a bit do to the major traction issues, but that mph tells me it is making the power it needs to to go in to the 10's on motor. What's that old saying .1 in the 60' is .15 on the big end.. Even if it's .1 for .1, the first pass says it is there being it's gone 1.59 with out everything it had with the old motor, smaller verter and more weight (and a steeper 1st gear).

I have a few videos I'll post after I reduce their size a bit.
