@turnswrench, how much power is your car putting down? When do you expect to start making some hits in it?

Car made 1,075whp last year in 6th gear. Basically starting with the same tune this year (minus the trans swap). Heading to the track tmrw!!

Right on brother! I’m excited for you! Can’t wait to hear all about it.

Prep is done. Weather will be sub-freezing in the morning but will warm up around 11a. Off to Rock Falls Raceway in the morning.

Good luck. And as the old racers would say. Keep the shiny side up.

We made it out to the track to make some max effort passes, but the track wouldn't let me run faster than 10.0s without my NHRA license. So I set out to make the 6 passes it takes to get your license.

1. Half track, moderate power.
2. Moderate working up
3. Moderate working up a little more
4. Moderate working up a little more <- Head gasket let go
5. Full rip
6. Full rip

On the 4th pass a head gasket let go. Part of racing and pushing things. I'll get it sorted out and back at it. Eliminating the weak points, one by one

If you want to watch the action, I included a video:
