Congrats hard work and $ spent paid off.

Thanks, more time in the garage and on the track helps. I do have some good friends in the hobby that we discuss our builds amongst ourselves. Usually coming up with some good ideas ( not always) that help performance.

Had a late start to the day..and track issues plus blew the tires off first run..didn't look good until I ran a 10.78 leaving easy at 127..I knew there was some et coming.
Great day overall, went over to check out a 71 GTO turns out it was a 290 cfm SD KRE headed 455 with an OF cam and a " Jim Hand" Continental Convertor! Word gets around I guess!

Hi Ernie, It was a great day, my car is actually a 72 GTO. It was nice meeting you last Saturday. I haven't spent much time on the Pontiac forums in the last few years but when I did it was on mainly on Pontiac Zone (although I made a few posts on PY Online). After we spoke I checked out some of your posts and I can't stop reading, very good info. Thank you for your sharing, hope to see you again next year.

Sorry, once I see the KRE heads I don't see much else.
Many good guys on here with 100 times my experience. You will find many good answers from members ( and the occasional spat for comedy).
Great meeting you as well.

I'm curious what your 1/8 et/mph is if you're willing to share.

Here are the two best slips, fifteen minutes apart. Also added is a slip from May 1 with almost identical Air Density..with the UCC convertor which was too loose.
