Just remember as you get older your reaction time gets slower, 1.5 may be best you'll get, no matter what you do to car! LOL LOL. Glad your doing good after surgery.

haha thanks Larry.. But you know my 60' time has nothing to do with my reaction time.. Clock doesn't start til I roll out of the beams..

I'm close to being ready - Need to try to take care of some exhaust leaks....damn exhaust has been off and on so many times it's just done. Still need to wire the spray, the 4.10's are here sitting in a box. Figured I'd put some miles on the clutch before installing gears.

The new clutch seems to be nice, the new PST aluminum drive shaft got rid of my drive line vibrations and the pro 5.0 shifter is pretty neat

Ready!!!

Going to be hard to go below a 1.50 short time. Did you do that with drag radials? If so, that's damn good.

Yes, the 1.50 was on 275/50/15 ET streets @18 psi... I can always hope..

[Nocooler]

As long as they prep the track - mid 1.4's shouldn't be to much of an issue Larry. That's what I'm hoping for on the dope

[1BADAIR]

pshhhh
drag radials go 1.11-1.20 all the time and 4.60's in the 1/8

Larry's convertor will probably hold him back

This I agree with... When I cut the 1.50 60's I was stalling the car up to 1600-1800 and launching. I had never done that before, I usually launched just off idle, 1100 rpms. I know when I launch at 1100 the stall flashes higher, hoping that might be good for just a tad quicker 60'.. I'm going to try both ways next time out and see what happens..

Someday that cat is going to make it Larry!!!

Yeah IMO the lower you flash it from the faster it will go to the 60. Your converter is small so taking a run at it will really help it flash higher on the juice.

Yep, that is my plan of attack next time out..

My sealed bearing is no longer sealed.

WHAT HAPPENED?!

[OIF1VET]

WHAT HAPPENED?!

Noticed a leak. pulled the axle and this part of the bearing came out, other part stayed in the housing.. But hey, I put 300 miles on it..

[WMCCjames]

That looks like a set20 bearing and that's completely normal for them to come apart like that. That outer seal is very easy to damage when installing, but if it's done right they dont leak. I have the same set-up on my 9".
