I got a bunch of runs in this weekend,getting used to the transbrake.I,m waiting on jet extensions and modified bowl from AED.The car ran consistant right up til race time(10.83-10.84,s)So I dialed for a 10.82 and ran a 10.78..I,m out.:banghead:.So sunday I tried a MSD adjustable chip I had bought lastyear.This allows you to adjust from 2000-3000rpm in 100rpm increments.So I tried leaving at 2500 instead of 3000rpm as the car seemed to be hopping and starving for fuel at launch.I,ll keep it at 2500 til the extensions arrive.Pic of launching..

Hi pettybludart,

That launch is absolutely beautiful. Your idea of upping launch rpm is worth a go. Although it's been a long time since I raced my '65 Barracuda, last I ran was launching at 4000 rpm. I was running a 4-speed though with McLeod Soft-Lok clutch assy. My very last run had a 60 ft. best of 1.46 at 10.81 and 126 mph, similar to what you are doing.

Again, your car/launch is beautiful. You should be proud. Good luck in your racing year!
