Yeah, I know what you're sayin Bill. The car might want to go a little faster than 102mph and that's what I want to find out.
I would like to see another 3-4mph if it's possible.
I have an old time slip from 2 years ago when I took it to the track for the first time with a 103.7mph. trap speed but that was with a tight converter. I'm getting 6% slip, which is considered acceptable, with the new converter so that's prolly where the extra mph went.
All in all, I'm very happy with 12.8's with this setup.
Bill, I bet you forgot to talk to Dave...didn't you...LOL
