Tim, good work again and don't be sad... New records are waiting to show up next time. I know you are a big guy, but your driving position makes you look like a gorilla in the gage  . And that sure don't help you to shift quicker  .

Awesome Tim, Closed my eyes and listened to the sound. It could have been a Rousch Racing in car audio. That Y Block sounds like a NASCAR engine going up through the gears. X pipe really makes a difference. Do you think you hit on the correct rear gear?Thanks Royce! The gears have to be correct if I ever want to get to 160. The engine has a little trouble climbing in fourth but I think with a little tweeking we'll get it. There's still a few tricks left.
 God Bless.  Tim http://yblockguy.com/

Everything went well at El Mirage this weekend, although it was very COLD! Truck ran great but just couldn't hook up at the top end. Still ran a best of 142.5 mph, one mile faster than last month. Tried some different things today that didn't work out, I think I leaned the carb. a bit to much and I know now that "short shifting" is not going to work for me. All in all we had a good time! Fun with friends is always best.
Made aother run of 142.2 that felt like it could have been a bit faster if not for loose dirt at the end of the course. We'll get our ducks in a row for next May. Only video I made of Jake for the weekend.
Bla bla bla

Off to El Mirage today! Weather looks good for the weekend although a little cold. No problem, I like dense air.  God willing the old Y will pull the new 3.50 ratio and we will get close to that 150 mark.
Say a prayer and wish us luck!
