my best time was 12.9 and my best mph was 108. spinning like crazy through 1st and part of second. anything I could do to get faster mph? does this sound about right for my combo or is there more left somewhere? I`d like to do more testing at HPP day at englishtown on saturday.

Nice setup--once you get the traction down-you'll be flyin.

Get that car hooked up man !!
I haven't tried the MT ET drag radial but I have heard it hooks well.
I run Radial slicks on my monster.....9" tire and it hooks great..
Noticed your ET's improved with less timing. Once you get to hook you may want to try more timing once more. Less intial timing could have helped you hook a little better by killing off some low end grunt. Check you 60's on the three passes you posted. FWI: my 462 with KRE 74CC 310cfm headed motor liked 36-38. My 505 with KRE 74cc 325cfm heads showed best power at 36 on the dyno..

I`m gonna try the MT ET drag radials. do some long burnouts, play with the timing and see what happens.

I never was worried about beating you. I thought that was evident....I really had hoped that Don would have beat me in the first round... I knew this would happen if we raced.
