 Post subject: New to the forum.......
PostPosted: Sun Aug 07, 2005 3:51 pm 
Hi all: Just got on the forum and thought I would intro myself.
My name is Stan and I have a 72 longbed chop top Luv and live in West Texas.
It has a SBC and 9" rear.
I just bought this truck a couple months ago and have run a best of 11.62 N/A @ 6000' DA.
The truck was geared way to steep at 5.43 and I have been banging the 8k limiter at around the 1000' mark.
I just took the pumpkin in for a re-gear to 4.71 in hopes of being able to use the 300 shot it has.

Pics.....

Here is a vid of my first run taking it easy and shifting at 6k instead of 7.8k.. http://www.v8z.net/videos/11.92.wmv
