Looks like the local drag strip will still be around in 2013, so I am making some upgrades. Replaced the LS1 intake with an Edelbrock Pro-Flo, got a pair of MT 275 Pros to replace the old worn-out ones on the car and made some more suspension changes. Turns out the PTC converter I was using was all wrong for this engine setup. It was originally built for the high-RPM 2JZ, so sold it and got another that should work better with 6.0L. Anxious to get back out.

Some of the badass DR cars are sixty-footing in the low 1.teens with a best of 1.12. Sounds almost impossible with that much power and such a miniscule tire.

Anxious to get back out but it all depends on the fate of the local track. Supposed to be an announcement today. Only other choices I have is to drive 65 miles each way to run 1/8-mile or 150 miles each way to Bradenton or Gainesville. I am going to run the car hard, but if I break, that's way too far from home. Hope I don't end up selling the car.
