Helpful advice for first timer?
tony1966:
I did find some anti fog spray and used that a couple of times, it seemed to work ok. I'll try heating up the glasses, too. Never thought of that.
On the shifter, I'll chalk that one up to bone head driver. there's a stop to prevent from shifting past second, but somehow i managed to get by it. Perhaps a little too excited? :) If i do it one more time, the shifter is getting modified/replaced. I've got a 7K chip on it and i never got into the rev limiter, the motor should hold together till at least 8500. Once i get this stumble thing figured it'll be way easier to drive.
I was thinking of high gear only runs to make the learning curve a little easier. I am not looking to set any records, have plenty of time to let the trans cool, as that'll work the converter pretty good.
Totally T:
Need to take a look at that stumble...

I haven't worked on car too much lately, helping my brother out over the weekend. I am trying to get a handle on the mech fuel injection (see my post in Spud Miller's section), but learning so much from you guys. To date, I have 4 passes on the car, and am getting more comfortable each run. So far I've only managed 10.03 on a car probably run 7's, but I'll get there. And there is nothing more fun than the burnouts!
My only regret is not getting one of these sooner!
