congrats on this. imagine when you get one of those 1.37 60ft coupled with the power of the 9.73 run.
feels pretty good huh!
btw i thoughti read somepalce you said something aboutthetransfer case now being the weakest link. did you break it?
ed
it felt great! i didnt want to put the drag radials back on!
we've had problems 2 times with the Xfer case. the 1st we complete messed up the whole thing, both shafts and all the internals. impressive failure!
the 2nd time i only snapped the output shaft so at least we had the front tires pullin and didnt have to push it in the trailer!
another impressive failure bc it smoked the front tires b4 i could let off!!

]one other thing... looks like at least 9.30's you have in that truck.
btw how much boost for the 9.73 run?
both runs had 6 lbs off the line and went from 6 to 20 in a max of 2 sec. we've tried 25 lbs 1 or 2 times in huntsville, 1/8 mile, but couldnt make past 100 ft. we were still playin with the boost control though. we had the boost comin in too fast and it was hazing the tires we'll try it soon since we've got her goin straight. 25 lbs should give us a significant jump in HP and hopefully ET.
