On that Q run the CJ went 8.98 at a buck fifty! I wasn't even to the 1/8th and he was done!

I guess that I should post an update! I ran a best of a 14.81 @ just under 89 MPH with a 1.91 60'. Considering the weather, I intentionally had the timing back and too much jet in it to be sure that it would go down the track. The weather looked a lot better than it really was as the barometer was quite low and the low temps made the DA look good.
The new converter worked better than I expected and I'm very happy with it. I do need to do some T+Ts to get my carb and timing right as running the index in good air just isn't going to cut it. I think there might be a tenth or two in the tune-up. After that, I may have to throw some money at it.
I'm getting to the point that I really don't know where this whole project is going or where it should go so I'm open to suggestions!

I think Johnny D needs to write an article on Dime Rockets in general and this project in particular.

Billy,
Time to just go for it ! You have already proven your point and achieved your goal. Many of us would like to see what this combo is capable of. Time to resurrect the U/SA nationals of a few years ago !
