First 1/4 mile ET with new motor, what's your guess?

Well we all agreed that mid 12s is what she would run...........We were Wrong!
First test run, hooks hard shift into 2nt then 3d. just past the 1000 foot mark, it start to pop and bang. i lift and cost through the traps. find that my secondary fuel bowl is below sight glass. set fuel level and give it another try!
2nt time trial 5800, shift, 5800, shift, revving and revving, no popping or banging still revving. go thru the traps at 6800 rpm.
First round we dial the same dial. So now it's a heads up race. I cut a .068 he cuts a .014. we both lift at the end of the track. he runs his dial in, and i break out!

Come to find out, he's in 2nt place in points and end up winning the sportsmen bracket.
Oh my times? LOL, In sportsman class you can not go any faster than 12.00 sec time.
first time trial i ran a [email protected] lifting after the 1000 foot mark.
2nt time trial(trying to keep it in the 12s) set my shift light back to 5800 from the 6100 rpm. ran a [email protected].
So i can't dial any lower than 12.00. I had 12.00 on my windshield and so did the guy i was racing. Dropped my shift light to 5600rpm hopping that would bring me back up to 12 flat. Ran [email protected] with a quick stab of the brake hoping to keep me above 12.
Before i got to the track, i told myself that if it ran High 12s that would be ok as it is now a 12 sec car. figured and hoped for mid 12s NEVER EVEN CROSSED MY MIND THAT IT WOULD DROP INTO THE 11s
