Why, is it that slow to begin with?

So, are you guys still going out on the 7th, but just putting off the Cheeseburger Challenge till the 14th?

I'm still planning on going on the 7th.

Well, another day and another break-down. Fortunately I was not on the freeway this time. I was heading downtown, taking the surface streets. I had just gone down Murray Hill and was about to turn left onto Euclid Ave when the car again just died. No action from the fuel pump. The car wanted to star...

Well, the new distributor works like a charm. I installed it last week so that I could make it out to Thompson on Wednesday. The distributor was installed almost exactly as it came out of the box from MSD. I did change the very heavy advance springs, to the medium blue ones. According to MSD's chart...

Yeah, I went 12.99 with it at Dragway 42. 3-4 weeks ago. Since then I upped the fuel pressure, but haven't really re-tuned the fuel map to compensate. I tried minor adjustments last night The stumbling off the line from fuel moving away from the pickup is getting very irritating too. I just looked o...

If the car isn't running, maybe the bike!

Well, the Chevelle is running, so I'll most likely be there with it.

Went out to TRP tonight with the Chevelle. In short, lackluster results. 13.20s, with a best of 13.16. I lost in the first round with a host of problems. 13.77 @ 100 (out of gas) 13.206 @ 102.104 13.266 @ 101.903 13.210 @ 101.726 13.166 @ 102.428 14.948 (round 1, 13.20 dial-in) -- had all sorts of p...

Well, after another round of frustration and disappointment with the computer-controlled timing, I've decided to put that project on the back burner. It's almost August and I want to drive/race this thing. I'm tired of working on it all the time. So I went out and bought a MSD Pro-Billet (that's rig...

I just saw the pics your dad sent out -- dude, that thing looks awesome for $1000. Regular cab, short-bed, 2wd... perfect. nice wheels, huh.. What kind of gears does it have? 8.8 or 9-inch rear? Perfect time to change gears when you take the springs out! How much will the new springs cost? -Dave

And, just what are you doing at a blue oval web site?

Because, It is wise to know the ways of ones adversaries.

That, and it was posted on another forum I visit.

That's gonna be a game-day decision for me, most likely.

The street machine thing is cool. I've been to at least one, and even took home a plaque for best reaction time of the day ---> .503 :lol: as I remember. Any Sunday is good w/me. I won one of those last year for a .501 -- But I got a $25 gift certificate to Summit for my efforts. I think it went to...
