Thanks. I wish it didn't lay down on the third run though.

1/8 ET's were from 8.57 - 8.82, the 60's didn't change much so i must have been spinning and didn't realize it on the 2nd and 3rd runs, times were 2.0187 - 2.0006. I was aware that the tires were spinniing the first run, but was more invovled in other things the other runs.

Very nice! Not many small blocks in B-bodies running that well, usually they're in A and E bodies instead.

Thanks. Hopefully I can hear back from Amanda today and get one of the runs posted. It was pretty cool though especially since it was my first time driving.

By mild I mean that it doesn't have a huge cam, or ultra high compression or anything. It's very streetable as a daily driver. I wouldn't consider it too radical when compared to what I could have done to it. Right now the engine is about 360 HP, calculated from the weight of the car and ET/MPH from the track.

The car was not running properly at the dyno. It was way to rich and the timing wasn't right. Since then I've gotten that to where it should be. I think the calulator is close.
