I'll still be on R888's. I'm planning on driving to the event and racing both days. I'm hoping for a better launch and reaction times. Doubt I'll have time to get on the chassis dyno and play with jets.

He's got us both beat by a hefty margin power wise. I ran an 11.95 and think I have some improvement. You are light so it should be interesting. Let's go heads up.... Happy to race for Super Chevy. I met Calin and Jim at the Super Chevy show last month. Couple good guys.
Well, I've never been down in this car.. does launching at the speed-stop count?

Ron Schwartz ran 10.89 at 132 in his LS7 Mustang on KDWs.. so it all depends on the track and nailing the shifts.

I will pitch it to Super Chevy.. none of thier cars actually run so they might be interested

That car is a freak of nature.

The traction is different onthe strip vs. the speed stop. I finally figured out how to set up my car to get out of the hole decent so my speed stop should improve a little as well. Your car gets out of the hole really well. I really need a set of dual adjustables out back. Hate to change shocks now that I have the car handling decent.

I'll ask Calin if he wants me to take down Camaro Perfomers. ha ha
