New Best 60ft time....been doing consistent low 1.50 60ft times this year (1.52-1.55) with the new rear suspension, wheels and tires leaving of the trans brake @ 10-12 psi. with no tire spin whatsoever. Bumped it up 14-16psi. and WOW !!! busted 3 or 4 1.48 60ft times :biggrin: Installed the B&M shift detent plate on the stock shifter and fixed my shifting mishaps...now just need to find the perfect spot to lock the converter and do it consistently. Looks like 1/8 mile marker is probably the spot since I'm right around 97-98mph. So far best time this Fall was 11.30 @ 120mph 1.56 60ft locking the converter a little late...had a T&T pass at Cecil that was probably a all time best as by "seat of the pants" felt like the best pass ever in the car to date...everything was dead on...14-16 psi launch, no spin, converter locked at 1/8 mile marker...it was flying...pulled hard the whole pass...Powerlogger said 124mph through the traps...had to be a very low 11! Tower F#@ked up the tree and I go all "0's" on my ticket 
Last pass at 75&80 on Oct 3th after 3-4 1.48 60ft times the rear said enough is enough and something finally let go...still went 11.49 @ 116 1.55 60ft letting out after hearing a crazy loud constant thumping sound in the rear. It still drives but is definitely broke...not sure what since I haven't pulled the cover yet but guessing either busted spider gears of missing ring gear teeth. No biggie...just time to install the Currie 9" sitting in the garage.
This pass the car went 11.30 @ 116 w/1.48 60ft...locked the converter too soon (good bit before the 1/8 mark) and it nosed over and bogged down some. Launch was 14-16 psi off the trans brake and boost was 26-27 psi with zero knock :biggrin: New rear suspension: TRZ Chrome Molly dbl adj lower control arms, UMI adj panhard bar, Strange dbl adj rear drag shocks, stock rear springs, 295/55-15 MT DR's on 15x 9" Welds...front dead stock struts and front sway bar is still on.
