The test & tune went well :roll we had great weather, except for the headwind at the track.
Made a few changes with jets,metering rods and ignition timing.Just trying to tune for MPH & air fuel ratio

and by the end of the day we were able to successfully slow the car down both E.T & MPH :bang

Oh man, I wish I'd seen this a few days ago- my son's game for yesterday was cancelled. I actually could have made it up there.

I know, I know, the headwind throws a monkey wrench in the mix, as far as the dog wagging it tail at mid-track... that is gone :drinking

Ok, you want numbers...124.98 mph 11.30807 et. 1.869 60' and that was trying not to kill it in the 60' (minimal tire spin) I did not say all my traction problems are gone, it just isn't blowing the tires off it at half track :argue 3900 lbs. Yes 3900lbs.
