Thanks I appreciate it.


Sorry took so long on the video, been a busy weekend. It's from a camera so the quality isn't the greatest but it's better than nothing. Also the slicks were just mounted with no screws so im sure if we screw them down and run on a better track prep there is more potential in the 60ft. From the vid it doesnt look like a 1.29 imo. Guess we'll see how things go next time, hopefully the weather's about the same and we can get some more out of it.

LOL he fixed that.


Well it's been about 5-6 months since the last update. In that time Travis made the switch to the glide which turned out to be the answer he was looking for. After finally finding a guy to rebuild the transmission he had the car back and ready. Same tuneup we went 8.72 @ 153 with. Track was crap it was a wednesday night and there was no surface at all. Tried to use the 2 step and smoked the tires.... Next pass took the 2 step out and clicked this off.....

60ft.........1.25
1/8et.......5.43
1/8mp......127
1/4et........8.58
1/4mph....150

Turns out she was out of gear and Pj lifted early as she was on the rev limiter. Not to bad for a little 302 based nitrous motor with some out of the box heads and a victor jr intake. It was Pj's first 8sec pass and made it look easy.....normally he just does burnouts in the street with no windows or doors LOL. So not bad the switch from the c4 to glide netted about .15 difference in et with everything else the same. Definatly should of been done long ago. PTC did a killer job on the converter and their service has been outstanding.

Dropped the gear and tried to get some more rpm out of it but I think the gear we had was just right. It was bike night and there was hardly any cars out but we got our best 60ft ever as we got the 2step to work for the first time. Remind you this is with no 7531, no progressive and no bars.

60ft.......1.20
1/8.......5.46
1/8........125
1/4.......8.60
1/4........no mph shown ???

Now it's time for a little change The AFR 205s and Victor Jr intake are for sale as well as the Kooks Stainless headers if anyone's interested. Hit me up

Dont have a vid of the 8.58 pass yet....here's the 8.72 one.



It's time for Surgery....now the fun begins.





Travis and his dad Bob getting her tore down. Bob may be a killer as a GM during the day at work but he's definatly not scared to get his hands dirty workin on the car. Thanks for everything Bob.


Travis got a new tow ring in the meantime.
