They eventually made us race the 1/8 because of the wind. It was a steady 30mph headwind so I might of gone a little faster. I gotta figure out how the previous owners were runnin high 7's in the 8th. I did have alot of people in the staging lane ask me if it was a real typhoon, what the heck was it, and did it have a 350 in it!

They asked if your TA was a Typhoon?

[thomas]

Wow 13.3@101, sounds pretty good! Is it stock? What kind of 60' times should you pull once you get used to it? 1.7ish? If so, that's a 12.9 run right there.

BTW, have you taken your T/A back to the track, or dynoed after the long tubes?

[Al 96 Ram Air T/A]

Man, I'd kill for those 60' times. My auto-x suspension blows for drag racing. The best I could manage with street tires was a 2.10

I know I could drastically reduce that with slicks, but I like my 10-bolt just fine the way it is

Nice times! I had a similar top end speed (102 mph) but couldn't break 14.0 because I spin the first 100'. I miss draggin'...but taking exit ramps at 60 mph is fun too

Nice, that's good for 12.5-12.7 in the 1/4 mile. So what happens in a race between it and your T/A? Is it running higher boost than stock?

not sure but I imagine on the street the ty will lauch and the t/a will see tail lights for a while but then it will reel it in eventually and then its byby
