It leaves hard , but im old and slow , so i was late on 1-2 shift twice and banged the rev limiter . I dont have too many of those before i slam a ring land . Need a shift light , throttle linkage , fuel cell , residule valves on the brakes and a few other things .
Update . I ran the truck last night in a new class called street legal warrior . Basically stock suspension , full interier , all glass , tag , inspection , insurance , winner and runner up must make a 20 mile cruise after race to get checks and if they dont they are disquilified . I was basically testing and tuning making my first passes in 2 years and first passes on the truck during qualifying . I really needed another week , but this was the last race of the season so i said WTH and went for it . They allowed 2 exception to the rules and i was way over that , but for car count they let me in . I went 7.23 on motor first pass spinning , 21# in tires (drag radials) and the throttle wasnt opening all the way . Pass 2 went better at 6.73 with 600 # bottle pressure and crazy rich . 3rd pass was better and 1st round of elms . Went a doggy 1.57 60' and tree'd the guy . At 300' the throttle cable popped off and i was trailer bound . All in all i had fun and have a list of things to work on . They are gonna hate me in Feb .
All in all , If i had this motor in my blue truck i would have owned this race . That thing would run 6.20's all day long in 100 degree heat with a 355 . I will figure this one out in time . Here is a vidio of the guy who won ,, but im in it for a few . You can hear the cable pop off .
