Wish I could join up with you guys but I will be in Manhattan, KS from mid week on.
But I am going to a car-related event.

Would this car related thing happen to include a pair of rear quarters for a 62?
Tom, this hint is not too subtle, I think James is trying to express his needs to get the salt shaker back on the track

Nooooooo! What are you trying to say Lead Foot? I'm thinking Auto gear anyway
Better save more moneys. 
Made it to the track.
Good luck!
14.43 first pass spinning the slicks hard.
15.33 had a bad bog in second gear.
We're working on it.

Little more timing, and a little less air in the slicks.
12.59 @ 107
13.59 @ 100 let out early

12.67 @ 109 both front tires off the ground on the launch.
12.56 @ 108 think we're heading home.
All in all good test and tune.
Not bad for running trough the tail pipes.

Pretty good for the first time out.
I think he officially happier than a punk in boys town.
I'll post some videos tomorrow, 3.25 gears and dual plane factory intake with
(5800) rpm upper limit through full exhaust has its limits! I'm very happy at this point... By no means making excuses, 6 passes with no parts or fluids on the ground! Just traction problems, the more runs and short shifting stock super t 10... the faster it ran. My 60' times were 1.73/1.76/1.74 after some lower rpm launches 4300 rpm. Didnt kill the tires as bad.
Did hit 7800 rpm in second gear in the water box trying to scrub off the new on the Hoosiers
...
Me and my buddy Ralph!!! We even managed to line up together once! I'm very sure he owes me a steak dinner.
he did share his nachos with me but that is no steak!

I guess looking back and watching the videos I probably could have left it in 3rd gear and ran it out the big end short-shifting it I was only running through about 5,800 . One thing about it if you are really aggressive you didn't go anywhere.
I was leaving about 4,000 to 4200 sort shifting at 5800. Really cutting myself short on the top end but not bad for a maiden voyage and a baseline data storm.
Thanks for taking these videos James
