Went to the track again, didn't even take the bottle with me, I wanted to concentrate on getting a good baseline on motor. My first pass, I put a little too much timing in the motor, I could hear it start pinging so I let off---14.006 @ 91.43. Took 1 degree of timing out and spun (2.163 60') to a 13.868 @ 101.74. Let it cool off for about 45 min, next pass it hooked good (2.044 60') went 13.706 @ 101.74. Now it's the 4th pass, cooled it off for 50 min, hooked good again (2.052 60') 13.706 again! @ 102.08. By this time, I want 13.6s so I let it cool off again for 45 min, spun again....(2.19 60') 13.854 @ 101.89. By this time, it's about 5:50, so I'm thinking, 1 more pass, if I don't hit 13.6s, I'm going home, I've got about a 1hr 40 min drive. So I let it cool off for 45 min, it hooks good (2.049 60') ......13.669 @ 102.08!! I was so happy, I got my timeslip and left immediately, I was stoked to say the least.

I don't think that's too bad for a stock long block, bolt-on AOD car with a stock stall on street tires to run that kind of time, I drove it there, made 6 passes and drove it home without any worries.

Here's the breakdown of my best pass:
60'-----2.049
330----5.799
1/8-----8.837
1/8 MPH-81.39
1000'---11.457
1/4-----13.669
MPH----102.08

Next up, lightweight wheels, sticky tires, skinnys, and a stall, and hopefully I'll see 12's on motor alone.

Sorry for being long winded, just wanted to share with everyone
