he actually said i was still keeping up with you. I just laughed and told him that i could see all of his truck in the rearview, thats not considered keeping up.
he ran a 17.054 which was better than i would have thought.

What did you run?
race 1
r/t ... .464
60 ... 2.450
330 ... 6.949
1/8 ... 10.626
mph ... 66.90
1000... 13.763
1/4 ... 16.412
mph ... 84.75
race 2
r/t ... .467
60 ... 2.497
330 ... 6.980
1/8 ... 10.631
mph ... 67.52
1000... 13.746
1/4 ... 16.379
mph ... 84.77
i thought i would run a little quicker even though i wasn't slaming gears. My rear brakes are draging enough to where they dont spin freely in the air at all, but i dont think they are tight enough to knock my time up by almost over a half second over stock. do you think i need to just shift faster? we got rained out as we were exiting the track on run 2. I can get in this thurs for free if i want and will have my rear brakes changed by then, and will try to give an all out run. I ran a 16.1 when i first got the car and had never been to the track before. Since then i've added a couple things including LIM/UIM cleaning, so i'm a little dissapointed.
any thoughts?

yeah the 5500 isnt going to happen on this tranny. I'm not sure what i want to upgrade first this spring 3L or tranny. I want the 3L bad but i know it will probably kill my stock trans.

Got those brakes fixed. You should be able to get a trap speed of 89-91.

Yeah get the brakes fixed, you should be running a full second faster.
