I was able to make a couple of test runs yesterday. The first was a little frustrating as I ripped the front splitter off the bumper cover somehow. I must have damaged it at some point loading or unloading and didn't notice.
It ran a 9.93 @ 138 dragging the splitter. I also had issues with the trans shifting so I hit the limiter in 3 of the 4 shifts.

I patched the bumper cover back up and lowered the main rev limit. The idea is to unload the gears when I hit the limiter allowing the trans to shifted. Yes it has the clutch assisted sliders.
Air was a little worse but the car shifted and ran a 8.88 at almost 138.

For qualifying today I am going to raise the launch RPM and set main rev limiter offsets in the ECU to allow different RPM shift points.

Daren should be here by 8:00 tonight. I will probably be pressing sheets by the time he rolls in.

More to come.

Hey guys, I'm not here, but Robin Lawrence sent me photos and info on the Ford vs Chevy battle going on today. It will be a best out of 3 race. As you can see Darren is swapping rear gears... He had clearance issues with the 5.29, so he showed up with the 4.86's. Car did not run well, so Robin is loaning him his 5.29. The last shot is Darren's qualifier.

I pass along the results s soon as Robin sends them... love the grudge racing, we need more of this.
