My 93 at the dragway. 1/8th mile.

I was easy on it and the numbers sure show it. O well, it was fun.

This run was 11.22. I put it in 4 wheel drive this run. I was scared to come out hard and bust stuff. My 2 wheel run was faster but wheel hopped bad.
That run was 10.9. I quit with just 2 passses. Didn't want to walk home.

Thank's to Taterfarm for filming me.

Not bad man, I just got into the 1/8th mile thing not to long ago. Ran 10.2 with lighting the passenger side tires for about 60ft out of the hole. Where did you get your 6X16's from? They don't smoke like I thought they would. Nice looking pass though.

I am real light on fuel settings. My head gasket will not take much more then I have now. I pulled 2 complete turns out of the fuel screw and turned the smoke screw all the way out. I bought the 6x16's off a member of another site. With the stock 6x9's and a maxed out pump I could hit 32 psi and it was lazy getting there. When I popped in the 6x16's it instantly boosted well over 50 psi. With 2 turns out it now boost's to 42 psi. Until I upgrade other things thats all the fuel I am going to throw at it.

Its not worth it to me to beat the thing just to get a half second off. I just go for the fun of it. As you can see I left easy and did not power shift it.

We'll see.

Nice run though. Don't be surprised if you find yourself hopping-up / tuning things to get around beating it.

It's just another addiction.
