buickfed:
our first time, last may, we broke the dedenbear glide. too hot of summer so our next time out was sept. we were running a buick 4.1 v6. this is the 5th or 6th car this engine been in. we did a best of 11.77 @ 111. not bad for a tired engine. the buick 350 going in next should take into the low 9's to start.

We like it. Had the 1.80 and it was too hard of a hit off the start. It's also what Scott and Frank suggest. I take their advice no matter what I think because I don't know xxxx. Lol
