Finally!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say thanks to all the NCDTR 18 guys for all the advice and help on the truck. Also a HUGE thanks to John Porterfield for all the advice and actual wrench time on my truck. I finally made a 12 second pass "12.85@104" last night. I really wish it couldhave ben onmy home track in NC but Gulfport MS will have to do for now. Thanks again to everyone.

I wish I could Jimmy but family things have me headed to Mo on thursday. I should be headed up that way in a few months for Sgt's course though. Oh and if you guys didnt catch it the 12's were updated for me last week. I ran a 12.71 @104. I'm pretty sure with new IC boots and the new filter on the way I can shave a millionth of a sec of that too

Thanks David, hopefully next time it will be quicker. I still plan to tune it to a 12.5 fuel only then attempt to spray 1/2 a sec lol. This should aid in the master plan to someday put in a CR engine.

I know, your gona have another few weeks you should have me by then. I'm headed out of town thursday so I cant break the truck before a road trip to MO. Then I probly wont be home in time the next wed to ge out to the track. I think after I get a few things in the mail (IC boot's and a good air filter that wont cave in) I'll get her down a little lower.
