Had a nice time out at the track today, even though I didn't stick around for the final two runs. MBUGZ60 had a flat tire when we left so I hope he got it fixed for the semi's.

So did you run 12's?
What did you end up doing to your motor? Heads, cam, and compression?

Big no on that one. One fo the carbs had a very loose idle jet and I did not find it till too late. Ran like crap. :(

Cam is E125 w/ 1.25 rockers. Heads are Tims sig heads and comp is 10 to 1 (7.5 to 1 dynamic). Still had bad spin off the line even after warming the tires...
