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

Paul,

You are making me want to spend the money on the front suspension.. I suspect I will be around 3,350lbs with me in the truck after the powerglide swap, backhalf/4-link, loss of my 125lb tailgate, and the addition of the cage. I know my 51/49 weight balance I had at 3,650lbs will be long gone.

But if I could get to 3,150lbs, I might be getting closer to the 9.9x NA goal I have set for 3 years

I can't wait to see yours done, and making passes again. I know you are going to be getting close to your goal. I talked with my chassis man yesterday, and he is concerned about the amount we will be paying for some of the brackets to be mass produced. He wants to take time to do this, and it still be profitable, and fair to the customer. We do not want to exceed our price point. I hope to lay down some strong passes in the spring, and push the issue quickly. I know you will reach your goal soon. Paul
