Yooo Todd, Pics and lots of them with your car leaving the line...Hot Rod Todd said:8.96 - well thats a big challenge for me. :lol:
Im running about where you were before you fitted the NOS. My best is 10.2 but Ive just upgraded from an oversized 454 & 671 to an oversized 540 & 671. So Im expecting to go to mid 9s next season with no other changes. Only got one meeting in this year, and it was with a borrowed engine and no blower so that doesnt count for anything.
My biggest problems are weight, (1120kgs without me in it) and lousy 60ft times (high 1.6s).
So educate me.
Transbrake?
rear gears?
Spool?
blower overdrive?
Carb size?
Fuel?
We are on the edge of winter down here so no more racing till September.
I dont think any of us are capable of running 8s, but you do seem to have excited a few who may take their buckets out for a quartermile smile
Well done
Cheers

The progression and advances, and problems, have been helped along by the enthusiasm given to me by guys on this forum.
We'll have to see what comes next with the T...I have no plans to seek a 7 second run...that would just be a bridge too far. I'm sure there's more in the old thing yet and so the next aim is for an 8.8...something.
Counting down in the tenths, or maybe even hundredths may be the way forward now but you can be sure of one thing, you guys will be amongst the first to hear about it.
All the best from your friend in the UK
