Thanks guys...it ran a personal best of 10.953 at almost 121 mph . The weather was great 57 degrees and mostly sunny . I have to give credit to Dave McGaffee..he was behind the wheel on that pass. Him and I are fierce competitors when it comes to ET, MPH, 60’, RT in this car....we actually have a chart on the wall of the trailer with the most current personal bests of the car and who did it with dates. Lol. We are goofy

Way to go!
Like Darrell said, put the 4 speed back in and do it. I have to admit that it kind of hurt a little when I heard that you put an automatic in it.

I hated doing it because I like perfection the only problem was we cannot be consistent every track is different

You have it setup good, those CalTracs love lots of front end travel.
Congrats.
Now you know why Dick Harrell favored the Turbo-Hydramatic. ;)

I'm just giving Doug shit.. There is a valid reason to go auto.

We have had so much fun with this car. Good and bad passes ..we try to learn something with launch rpm, tire pressure, converter, Deep down I love the 4 speed. Ronnie Sox, McCandless, Grumpy were superheroes !!!
