Well back to track today after having rest of cage welded in, kinda happy after adding 30-40 lb to the car… First pass: broke up really bad… 1.54 60 ft 10.5 @ 135 … seemed like it loaded up rich again, but last carb move I had leaned secondaries more… so reversed the move from 105 - 108 rear jets… Second pass… 1.345 60 ft almost on bumper again… 6.16 @ 111.5 1/8 mile 9.68 @ 139.8 Third pass… 1.41 60 ft - spun pretty hard… 6.19 @ 111.3 9.75 @ 139.7 fourth pass… 1.340 60ft 6.15 @ 111.5 9.80 @ 127 - nailed brakes at end twice because I was past him pretty early - did not realize I had red lit… wish I would have stayed in it to maybe get a new best again. Not bad, would like to find out what car weighs - used to weigh 3440 with 350 and iron heads… Anyone know difference between iron headed small block and alum headed BBC?? also added suspension parts and cage addition… I am guessing about 3500 with me… ---

not bad. I mean, I ran a 9.67, but your 9.68 is still quite respectable. ---
