They are so impressed with the RT's performance they want to get their head and cam in my motor since they know I race every week and post about it on several forums. I can't tell who it is yet, but as soon as I get it installed there will be a full writeup with actual track data showing the difference.
I am sure if we were not running into the headwind you would have been close to the 11's. Looking at my slip from this week compared to last I should have been a high 12.30/low 12.40 based on what I picked up on the 60 and 330 foot marks.
It is shaping up to be a fun, action packed summer and I will be sure to let you know when I am heading over to 42. I had a good time even though I lost. I think you know it is all about bracket racing for me anyhow.
I bet you had the Mustang guys watching you in the street car lanes. Most of them were running high 13's and 14's.
I think a converter,cam,posi,longtubes (if you dont have them),and heads the R/T will be seeing 11's N/A, I might get there but im suffering from a lack of displacement,281 cubes just isnt alot to work with and I might build a shortblock next winter.I dont know if you have a head sponsor or youd have to pay but I can recommend an excellent crew to do your heads if you have to pay (ask me how id know!).
Like I was telling you in the pits I honestly thought Id see a 12.3x-.4x out of your car, that was the number I was expecting you to pull and at that point even if my car ran a 12-teen its all on the tree then. We just didnt have track conditions in out favor-Lousy starting line (I thought so anyways) and racing into hurricane Katrina (watch the burnout in the video).
Yeah there were a couple Mustang guys trying to figure out what makes my car "tick". Nice guys but dont have a clue-esp that older guy and his crony. They want pointers,ask and then when you tell tell them they dont want to hear it-oh well
