Default Went to Richmond for a track rental today.

I had 2 goals for the day. 1. Don't break anything. 2. Get the car back in the 10's. I accomplished both today, with an added bonus of a new best! I was on 17#'s of boost and 14* of timing.

I drove the car to the track and didn't change anything but the air psi in the DR's. I also was taking it easy on the new tranny, as I really didn't want to break 2 trannys in a month.

Here is the slip from my new best ET. Unfortunately I didn't get this run on video. It also would have been better if I would have hit any of my shifts on this pass before I hit the rev limiter. I was so shocked at the launch, that it through me off for the whole run! haha


**EDIT**
Got the video from someone else that was there.
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/N...053_723784.htm

Here are the runs I did get on video.
TT 03 Cobra passes 12-09 - Car Videos on StreetFire

Here is one of my other slips that I also didn't get on video.


Here are a couple pictures also.






And my favorite DR's in the world! haha

Thanks. It's still down on power. It should be trapping near 140 the way it sits. After the holidays we will prob drop the motor and throw some better valve springs in the car to see if that is whats causing it to be down on power.

Well, congrats on not eating the new transmission and the new best run. I can still hear those drag radials screaming for mercy in first gear/ 60'..time for some slicks, 2 step and more broken transmissions.

Any idea on the set up in the silver one from the first pass in the video? He gets on out in the first 1/8, but you reel him in on the top end.
