I am looking for weight off the front , I may try moving the battery over the drivers side tire.
moving the battery will have the same affect that Eric suggested.....

Ever consider a fiberglass/poly hood? Also plexiglass to replace the real glass on the doors might be realistic...trunk mounting the battery is a big help in weight transfer...try 125 shot?
Glad you are having fun, that's what it's all about.

No 125 shot on my car, I want to save the motor. I know you want to play you got to pay. I just don`t want to pay that much. So I will just make do for awhile. I am contemplating just buying the PI multi disk torque converter. The guy over there said I should gain a 1/2 a second.Since I am working at the dealership on Saturdays, I can use the lift for the install.It has its advantages. I am learning a lot also.

If that thing don't go 11's bring it over to HRP in November. If it still doesn't go 11's....well don't leave me alone with it. I got a set of nitrous drills and I know how to use them!

It'll definetly go 11's after that...at least once!

Basic 1 disc am/fm, very light weight compared to the shaker`s. Only need 1 disc, to play Country Boy CAN SURVIVE. This is a fire up song for the track.

If I come way down there it should run low 11`s . Heck you would have it in the 10`s with your mojo.

Well you remember when you called me and needed to know what pill went in which nozzle for your nitrous kit? The pills had numbers on them?

Let's just say when I get done....those numbers don't mean anything anymore!!!
