Gonna try for a new best tonight

-
Got 1/2 a mind to try the brake tonight... its convincing the other 1/2 of me the rear end will live to fight another day...
I will test it, there is a place to do so... and then decide
 
With my heap, if all goes well.
Then race tomorrow( if all goes well)
FAST cars are there right now....
best of luck to you. have you done anything different to the car? I want to take the Dakota out and try for a new best my self. but I don't think stupid's Mo weather is going to let me. supposed to rain from this Saturday to the next Saturday.
 
The air should be good tonight/tomorrow, good luck!

Are you still on an 8 3/4? If so, I would wait (just to be safe).
 
Transbrakes are FUN, and at least for me, more consistent. But the driveline has to be beefy enough for the shock loads. 8 3/4 with a spool and axles, and a good driveshaft with big u-joints and good yokes, id give it a try.
Stock shaft, axles, and a posi (i know, lol ), uh,nope!
I had a glide, billet yokes, 3 1/2 aluminum shaft with 1350 joints, nine inch with a spool, soft gears, 33 spline axles.
And a light car.
Sure was fun though!
Stepped off the button at 5500.
 
Getsome!! We’ll all live vicariously through you this weekend!

fighting a shifter cable issue right now... hopefully get it fixed here soon, first lick was 10.82@121 and change. Hoping to get another pass in yet tonight
Its a pooch.... some things i would like to do to make it go faster, but at the end of the day..small diameter straw.
Limited upside.
Positive news, pulley issue is fixed, no issues

Is that off the transbrake or are you foot braking it??

messing around with jetting. Haven't tried the timing anywhere but 34... probably what it wants.
First pass i shifted it higher(6600)
Gonna try 6400 this time
 
May not get another pass. 4 pairs from getting pulled out.. an old BB alky funny car tagged the wall
We will see
 
No new anything... leaned it out a bit much i think.
Air got real good, needed more fuel. 700 foot better air last pass, only 1 number better. My fault.
Went 81@121.60. Not much power, but the car is working extremely well for the mph i think
Sitting in a drive through, hungry. Headed home. Race tomorrow!
