First official pass...

Well guys, last night, after fighting battles with many broken parts, I finally got a pass down the dragstrip.

I did one pass.

13.157 @ 100.84

1.959 60'

I ran 2wd, slicks on the rear.

I have the truck setup for the lowest HP possible, running low timing, my plate slid full back, a small air filter, and a couple other things.

More in the works.

I averaged 20.8MPG on my last tank of fuel too.
