Silver Dollar Dragway, November 19 for me, New graph and goodies

I thought I would start a new thread since I am heading out to SDR this Saturday with Muscle Car Evolution

I had Tony tweak a couple things on my tune, and laid down the following on a Dyno Dynamics this morning. The rpm actually represents 6500, a wheel speed tach was used so its off a little on the top end.



The new rear setup that will go to RedBulljunky after the day



The new front skinny's courtesy of AMGFTW (CCW 505a's), I picked up the rears to complete the set for my permanent street setup






Same as last time, Buckhead Imports and I will be documenting the runs with GoPro, lots of pics and various video action. There should be some 8 and 9 second beasts out there, so hopefully I won't get to embarrassed

The track opens at 10am and racing starts at 12-5pm. I assume we will be leaving around 9am from the Vinnings, and it is quite a drive too, give at least 2 hours to get there.

Hit me on my cell, I will pm it to you.

Craig-
Have a great time. I am sure you will be right there in the hunt.
Down with the wife at Amelia Island, FL so if the wind is blowing just right, I am sure we will hear your beast !!!
Be safe.

Good Luck

Dude, I'm salivating reading this thread! Wish you lot's of luck! I'm sure your 55 is going to turn a lot of heads, big dogs present or not.

Is the new tune on race fuel? Those are huge gains for a setup which already had a good tune.

Thanks guys!!! I am not hiding anything, the new tune is on race fuel, and will be pulling both fronts seats and putting in my race battery. I will be strapped down in a race seat and hunting 10's.

I will most definitely post times as it happens with videos to follow soon after.
