Default Ol'Blue goes 9.017 @ 152.38

Well I didn't get an 8 last night.............

But I got darn close! Just ran out of time before I could make another pass! I think we got it figured out now! The weather wasn't great and the track was so-so but I believe we have the suspension dialed in now!

Here's the video and the time slip!

Yeah, but I really think we got it figured out now. A few adjustments and it just seemed to come together last night!

Nice run Eric, but I think I could beat you just by reaction time.

BTW after you did your burnout was that squeek beltslip? just curious.

That's why they call it test-n-tune! I ain't worried about that light! Just the number!

It was the belt. That's why I revved the motor a couple times afterwards.....to make sure the blower snout was nice and tight!!

Yep just picking with you Eric.
My belt was doing that also if I would let off the gas too fast, now I put the V10 water pump pulley on it stopped slipping.

What adjustments to the suspension are you'll doing?

You know the funny thing is.... we used to have an '84 Bonneville that we called "Ol' Blue". I doubt it would run a 9.01 though

Oh, I know!

Well i need a little belt slip or it will yank the pulley snout so hard it loosens the drive on the blower! Some slip is a good thing!

More tweaking it then anything else. I'm not sure if this was one of those got lucky nights or if we really got it resolved just yet. Let me test a little more before I start spouting words of wisdom!! Don't want to send anybody on a wild goose chase!
