Here's some more updates from tonight. These passes were all motor, I ran two runs on the nitrous and it wasn't pretty at all so I'm going to leave those times in the trash. I ended up sideways at the 60ft and threw the nitrous bottle out 
.
60'-1.586
330'-4.593
1/8-7.175
MPH-95.38
1000ft-9.381
MPH-111.67
So what do ya think for an all motor run at 3600+lbs?

I figure I better keep updating this since I haven't in a while since I've done a lot of changing in the past month or so.
So let me start off with a little suspension. I chunked the stock sway bar for this homemade Anti-Roll bar and IT WORKS.
We also relocated the shocks with some homemade brackets
Now here's to catch up on some track times. I recently sold the Circle D converter and Lvl6 Transmission to go with a TH400 with a Transbrake with a Neal Chance 9" converter and 3.70 gears.
The converter was set-up for a guy that was running a 3.55 gear and 250 shot, so in other words really didn't work worth a **** in my set-up. Nothing agains Neal Chance at all it was just never set-up for my car. Marty is a great guy to deal with and can help you with anything. I just sent mine back today to have it set-up for my little 370ci.
So this weekend I learned that the converter was WAY too tight and that the car has some pretty good potential once I get it all right.
I called up Marty today and told him what my set-up was and he would get it done. I'm going back to a 4.33 gear and we'll see what it does
.
Here's what it did this past saturday for the first TNT of the year, and this was on a 150shot. Actually considering, it wasn't that bad besides the 60fts
. I had a 1.65 off the Tbrake and ran a 7.2x all motor at 98mph...
Here's where I let out at the 1000FT.
This one it went straight to the right so I got out and back in it.

You just need my 402, and hit it with 250, the converter will be perfect 
ARB looks good, car's coming along. The Th400 you'll be happy with, and glad that you did when you make 100 passes and it's still working like you just put it in.

Rip that rubber mat off the firewall that thing weigh's a ton.
And put some $ together, the motor's coming out in a couple weeks and will be ready to rock. You stick that in your car and you won't be looking at 6.50's anymore, hit it with 250 and you'll be looking at 5.70, probably 20 mph higher too... maybe more.

Looks like you put in a new in tank fuel pump the easy way.
Nice job with the car, LOVE the swaybar!!
If I remember correctly the alt will not charge the battery with the guage cluster out of the car. Learned that the hard way.

.Man I wish I had the money for that motor you have, but after I get this stuff all bought I'll be flat broke again.
I just ordered 2 plastic seats, 2 covers, B&M Pro Ratchet, K&R Delay Box, Line lock & Transbrake buttons, 4.33 Richmond Gears, and a Shiftnoid Electric RMVB 5070.
. Turns out I didn't even have to change it 
. So far that rollbar is working pretty good! Can't wait to put it to some good use next weekend...hopefully.Right now I'm just going to put the dash back up to cover everything until I can make a nice aluminum one with gauges or one of those nice pro-stock style fiberglass ones.
