My other best run my ET was almost the exact same but I beat a supercharged 99+ cobra.
Put a car and a half on him on the launch, then I have no idea how he didnt catch up on the top end. Must suck to spin halfway down the track. Of course he trapped about 11 MPH better than me. haha.
Are you on street tires or DR's? Those are some nice 60's on street radials!

My best 60' of the night was the 2.106 in my other post, most were in the mid 2.1 range.

No I wish.
They are on some almost worn out Nitto DRs. I may go with BFG's next, the consesus seems to be that they hook better.
I really should be able to get the 60 a little lower on DR's but I have zero helpful suspension mods.

I talked to you a few times and ran once right behind you but didnt realize your "drag name."

Did anyone get any good vids of any of the better passes?

Well, to those that couldn't make it out, you missed out on a lot..... The weather couldn't have been any nicer. I was very proud of my STOCK MACh1 doing what it did. In high 50 degree weather these are my results:
R/T .198
60' 2.109
330 5.712
1/8 8.668
MPH 83.16
1000 11.208
1/4 13.356
MPH 104.65

And still room for improvement. There was another yellow MACh there with nothing more than a cat back and pullies that was running 13.1's and pulling 1.9 60's on the stock 245/45-17 tires! And I thought I could drive decent. Either way, I hit my goal of a 13.3 or better so I was happy.

Yeah I was kinda disappointed in my runs! Ive only run the eighth since the heads and intake manifold and my 1/8th times almost 3 tenths slower at VMP than at Northeast in NC.

best run
rt .508
60' 2.18 on ET streets <---
1/8 9.41@75.5mph
1/4 14.41@97.1

Ive got some serious low end bog issues. I don't go anywhere till I'm at about 2500 rpm. Maybe I need that stall more than I thought I did!

Yeah that yellow vette was nice and rueter your chebby sounds sweet! We passed ya on 85.
