Well done. Nothing like wheels up on a street car! What suspension mods do you have on that beast?

Nevermind, saw it went 6.64 to the 660'.

My goal is to do it with stock heads too, you need to just slow it down

 

[Raymond Bunch]

That's my goal too! I guess we all have to have goals in life...lol

It sounded like you went into overdrive, then down shifted. Or, was that the T/C locking up?

It usually helps if I just nod my head and say ahhuh, yep, ok, yep and do the exact opposite as what JD suggests.

In all honesty, You have helped me more than anyone throughout my whole experience in the turbo world since 2001. Thanks Bud!

That is the NL converter flashing to 5300rpm and then the rpm rising to 5700rpm at the end. I still need to manually shift it, but it is very hard to do launching that hard. Its time to put a real shifter in the car.

Mods are listed in the timeslip section of the boards.

 

[Raymond Bunch]

Ahh, that explains it. I'll take a gander at you mods, may have to try and duplicate...lol

I wonder what the guy in the other lane thought?

I watched that guy run about 3 times. He's rowing a 4 speed and the man can drive. He ain't afraid to grab gears.

I had a feeling the stock shifter was going to be a problem if you had to manually shift. Did you data log the pass? There was definitely something unusual happening with the rpm past the 1/8 mile. That may explain the low trap speed.

That guy was cool for sure. Had a 1960's white jacket with all the cool patches.
