![]() I think what everyone is saying is " You are maxed out with those heads". I'm happy for every tenth you get, but the mph won't rise much without more peak hp. just my thoughts. You're doing well though, from my point of view.

![]() .01 on the little end is worth .1 on the big end, as a general rule. So, there ya go right there.
ALWAYS, ALWAYS tune to your MPH. The ET will follow. If you know that car can go 102, and all of a sudden you're running 99, then it's time to play with jets, and make the car match the air. It's as simple as this bro. That car wants to go 102 MPH, and the ONLY reason the ET's are dropping is because of seat time. Plain and simple. Launching better, obviously. Prolly doing a better burnout, and prolly hitting them shift points a bit better, staying in the groove, keeping her straight, etc etc. ![]() It's seat time bro! ![]()

![]() 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

![]() Atleast you ran your setup. I have been saying I am going to run mine all year, but still have not done it. Probably for a few reasons, but mainly cause I am skeered. I dont wanna know how slow it is.
