Being the dedicated racer that I am, I went to the track last night without third gear. It will be in today or Friday. I brought the slicks and was thinking well I'll just do some hole shots and see if all the rearend work that I have done has paid off. I launched at 5000 and pulled a 1.614 60ft Shifted 2nd, skiped 3rd and went to 4th. 13.051 @ 106mph. Me and my padnas were so excited that I decided to do it with the NOS. We were all shocked!
All 4000rpm lanches
2 1.602 60ft 12.416@ 111.32
3 1.601 60ft 12.541@ 111.12
4 1.587 60ft 12.222@ 111.58
Aside from the shock of running that good with no 3rd, all the welding torque boxes and new bushings, and rebuilding the trac loc definetly helped the 60ft improve.
