First test run with Gallina/Freeman new combo
Len went and did his 3 passes to get his advanced ET lic.

first pass 15#s soft launch netted a 8.0 at 177
second pass 19#s 1.10 60ft 7.47@185
last run didnt hit the 2 step and car got loose and lifted with 23#s
7.52@187

They did the this in Vegas in 100* heat

With the fat ,low timing tune Duttweiler did on the engine dyno.

Kens coming to Vegas for the psca race to tune it in and turn it up!

Conrats guys!!!!

Thanks Otto..

Wonder if they plan on bringing it to BG or another track that is closer to sea level.. Either way sounds like it should run some low low 7's or maybe they can get that elusive 6 sec pass??

What does Mr. Anderson think about that??

Damn, I guess with the right guys in your camp you can throw down a BIG number shaking the car down. Congrats Len and Gallinas. I expect you will achieve your goals very soon.

Congratulations guys.
Len what do you think of the rear gearing with the data from the 3 passes.
How is the converter responding to all the additional torque... oops did I say that out loud???
