Thumbs up Re: Day at the Drag Strip

I used to own a very modified Grand National and my best time was 12.68 @109 mph w/ 1.91 60 ft time. In my cars defense though, it did have 120K on the original motor/trans. In addition to that, the turbo was supposed to have a 3000 stall to make it perform at its best and I didn't have that or the new valve springs that it needed after 60K. IMO the 108-109 mph should get you into the mid 12's with BFG drag radials or Nitto drags. Even new tires aired down a bit (30-35 psi) should help. Make sure you turn off the T/C though as it retards the timing, but you probably already know that. One more thing, think Vanilla Ice and "ICE ICE BABY"!
