Very cool, it sounds like you are getting there.

Great numbers, what cam are you running and how much boost on that 71 to run 142mph?

the cam is a 234 comp cam the boost is at 28 lbs, the 142 run came out of nowhere... my previous best was 131mph as i mentioned i am still getting the hang of launching and shifting at the right rpm, i think once i get my act together the car should run mid nines....too bad i have to wait till spring to find out

Nice job man what converter did you have in there before the Pro torque?

 

[turbodaniel]

when i bought the car it had a precision 76 gtq and a 8"coan with a 4400 stall, way to much for a 235. so i changed to a 71 billet and the pro torque that stalls at 3700... big difference spools great
