One of my friends called earlier and ask if I wanted to go so I did. Got there right when it opened and got in 8 passes :eek: There was nobody there for the first hour or 2 so who was there just kept going to into the staging lanes after their run. I didn't start running constant till the end but I was launching that great.

Pass 1 - I spun through the first 2 gears, I kept pumping the throttle but I couldn't get her to grip, I guess I did get all the water off the tires:
R/T - .623
60' - 3.234
330' - 8.434
1/8 - 12.154
MPH - 66.95
1000' - 15.227
1/4 - 17.987
mph - 84.50 :eek:

pass 2:
R/T - .587
60' - 2.470
330' - 6.824
1/8 - 10.411
MPH - 68.56
1000' - 13.443
1/4 - 16.183
mph - 84.96

Pass 3 - I got my best 60' of the night
R/T - .773
60' - 2.301
330' - 6.538
1/8 - 10.026
MPH - 70.39
1000' - 12.982
1/4 - 15.653
mph - 87.24

Pass 4 - Manually shifted my automatic
R/T - .539
60' - 2.420
330' - 6.669
1/8 - 10.174
MPH - 69.70
1000' - 13.136
1/4 - 15.822
mph - 86.56

Pass 5 - Manually Shifted my automatic again
R/T - .657
60' - 2.399
330' - 6.700
1/8 - 10.224
MPH - 69.44
1000' - 13.203
1/4 - 15.899
mph - 86.31

Pass 6 - This is when I ran open headers and ran full automatic
R/T - .593
60' - 2.373
330' - 6.586
1/8 - 10.030
MPH - 71.09
1000' - 12.955
1/4 - 15.590
mph - 88.52

Pass 7 - Still open headers ran full auto again
R/T - .621
60' - 2.377
330' - 6.534
1/8 - 9.973
MPH - 71.10
1000' - 12.898
1/4 - 15.537
mph - 88.29

Pass 8 - Last run and open headers and still running full auto
R/T - .380
60' - 2.342
330' - 6.550
1/8 - 10.001
MPH - 70.96
1000' - 12.933
1/4 - 15.581
mph - 88.15

I know if I got one more run in I could have ran a low 15, I was launching at 1500 rpm every run except for my best 60 and I launch at 2000 rpm. With the open headers she was pulling a lot harder on the top end. I think if I launched at 2000 and manually shifted the transmission I think I could have managed a low 15. At least I got my base line in now before I put the new exhaust, O/D tranny and the new CAM. Can't wait to get all that stuff in.

Looks like some good times and you're right, you have a good baseline to measure your improvements against. It seems like the open headers helped out too. Isn't it fun and addicting?
