NMCA St. Louis Ford vs Chevy

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.
