His 60 went way down when he actually got the tires hot enough with john force burn out and lower tire pressure a high 1.6 but second gear synchros don’t like him all the time… so it was shit run. All vids are now up, I just have to put up the one or two pics I took as well that will be tomorrow. ---

Kinda pisses me off cause i know with a decent 60ft i coulda been good into the 10’s. Oh well new tranny and next year. ---

Nice work John. That second slip must make you shake your head. 10.9 at 135 to a 9.9 at 136, with almost all the difference in the first 1/8 mile. The good thing is you know where the time is…traction and getting through the gears. Of course that makes it sound so easy. lol ---

sourced another tranny. should be here wednesday. Maybe i will get one last shot before the year is out.🙂 Oh, and yes unless a back half+tub my car will probably never see anything under a 1.5 60ft. So far the fix for axle breakage was reinforcing the diff mounts by welding a bump stop right above the nose of the diff on the subframe. Also i cryotreated my axles and decided to run hoosier quick time slicks instead of the mickey thompson axle breakers. I also reinforced the center support bearing as well with polyeurothane. I have been to the track 3 times now and have not broken an axle. Just trannys.☹ Im not sure how i feel about the 3.15 lsd. My 1/8 mi used to be 105ish with the 3.91 and is now only 101ish. The problem with the 3.91lsd was i couldnt possibly shift my tranny fast enough to take full advantage. I think both diffs have there pros and cons. ---

John I swear your first 2 pass had normal 1/8th times and traps… You’ll see on the new trans when you can connect a 1-2 shift. But you don’t want to be on any other diff if you want 10’s buddy. ---
