    More video of the Comet. The first couple 12sec runs were Vic Jr no spacer then I plopped a 4 hole 1" spacer on and picked it up.I think Ill be going back to the RPM Air Gap intake I have.
    Also one of my friends from work brought his 4cly turbo probe down from Pa. He builds some of the sickest 2.3s.
    Check out the diesel truck Ive been helping with at the end... 11.91 @ 118 to my 11.84 @ 113... He was moving on with it on the top end. If we could get that 1.80 60ft down to a 1.60 we could get that truck in the 10s with out a doubt.

    Nice running! I love the diesel trucks running 11 an lower! Just awesome to watch all that torque! Comet running good! Did you make any changes in runs, or just the temp change?

    I ran Mason couple years ago in old Maverick, nice track! If all works out,,,will be there with new car for turkey race!

    Nice running Comet. Makes me want to take mine to the track now. I love the rush of the 1/4 mile....

    Yeah man I love the look as well.

    As for changes the 4 hole spacer dropped the car from 12.10 to 11.93 then after that I let the car cool a good bit and air temp dropped about 7-8 deg. Best run of the night was the last against my buddies diesel. 11.84@113 1.68 60ft
