Default ran a new personal best last night

9.150 at 74.01 on a 2.02 sixty foot.

i had one run that had a 2.000 60 foot...i was pissed. i wanted that 1.9XX!!!

first run was in 2wd. i ran a 9.4 on a 2.2 60. then i put the driveshaft back in. i think if i get my shifting down pat and some cooler weather it has a 8.99 in it. (i have to let off on my shifts so i doesnt float the valves)

side note: the 4.56 gears didnt vastly improve my e/t or my short time. BUUUT, i ran a 5.87 330 (that is .15 tenths better than my previous) and my trap speed went down by about 1.5-2 mph. stock gears were 3.73

i think my current setup (gears, custom flash) is gonna be sick nasty with a 220ish cam and 2.02s heads

cant wait...just gotta put in some more overtime (also been thinkin about taking out a small loan) <--- yes, im crazy

i find it rather humorous that an SUV is pulling times faster then 90% of the turbo hondas on this board

i think a meet and greet would be cool. i didnt talk to everybody as much at the dyno as i would have liked so we should try and meet up and go to the motor mile speedway or something (i havent been there)

Thunder Valley is a joke of a go cart place....but I guess it could be fun.
