We made it happen today.

As some may know i was on a quest to get my 12 sec timeslip. Well today we made it happen. First pass was a 13.09 @ 102 with a 1.87 60ft. time
Second pass was 12.91 @ 103 with a 1.86 60 ft. The only changes between today and last time out is I went back to the 750 3310 holley (box stock) , I added electric fans and electric water pump drive. Dove it to the track 60 miles raced it and drove it home. Pretty much didnt really do a whole lot of tuning and the combo surely has more in it. A custom carb is in my near future along with a cylinder head swap which the heads where ported by 67cutlassfreak. All in all not too bad for what it is. Im glad my stuff is holding up .

Thanks guys. It took 3 years but i did a lot of work, alot of learning, and ultimately built a much better car than i have ever had. Just wish it looked as good as it did 7 years ago.

Thanks for sharing. I won my first round race with a break out run up against a red light with a .008 RT. Then I went out with a red light second round up against a guy that broke out. Karma is a bitch. We had a great time and my car made 6 passes in the 10.80s. Not too bad for a 9.5:1 iron headed pump gas slug -
