I think my best was 13.16 on my nittos, borrowed some slicks from my MKLO boys at past Lfest and actaully did worse. Haven't gotten used to those yet.
Like I said I REALLY need to work on my 60' launches. So practice,practice,
practice....

If you decide to come you might like Chitown says check with the group that comes down from Indy and I think meets up with some of my guys in Missouri
then head west on I-70. Hope you get to come and I want to see that 10sec run!
P.S.-I was almost a victim too of the shooting plug,went to put on my new ported eaton and decided to do a plug change, 5 of 8 were loose, and one was loose enough to take out by hand!!!!!!

I will probably do that Oz.
I hear ya on the plug thing. Be careful lol.
I did toss a plug a couple years ago. Just driving down highway and pop lol, it stripped the threads right out. Hmmm i think it was #6 cyl. looked and it had only 4 threads holding it in. So i got on line started looking into it and sounds like they had a problem with that design on a couple of years. Called ford they wouldnt do anything about it.

So found some 03' lightning heads on ebay and put those on. Which I guess I will be selling before to long.
