this friday i drove my satellite out to the street legal racing at the local dragstrip.
the car has been running perfect since i unleashed it from the garage about 3 months ago, i get it to the track, and whadda ya know, she won't run.
you turn on the pump, fills the bowls with fuel, floods the car and it stalls.
eventually narrowed it down to a needle and seat that was seeping fuel in a crack somewhere. either way, an hour late i was still able to make a few passes.

the first pass with the new motor netted a 13.50@101mph
it felt fast, launched hard and went straight and true...but i wanted more.
second pass, with a little less jetting because the fuel was burning my eyes, netted a 13.2@101.5
a few more passes later, and still no go.
so, i set the timing from 38-41, borrow my buddy's collectors and go to make my one last run for the day.
pull up the lights with the motor at about 180, bring the stall up to 35, cut a .512 r/t, 1.77 60 foot, shifting at 6500 (that's where it seemed to like it....) and cut a 12.98@104 mph.
i don't know where all the mph came from, but it was my 12 second pass that i always wanted.
i figure there is still a LOT left in the car, but for the 4th run and a 12 second pass...im good.
look for 11's by the end of the summer!
