Post  56Tbird June 20th 2010, 5:07 pm

Well ,the car went straight and smooth. Ran a 8.77 at 149.12 ,,trying to hit hit 8.50 or 9.00 so I took 2 degrees timing out and and lowered the shift to 6200 and slowed it to 8.90 at 147.89,but it dropped the oil pressure to 20lbs in the shutdown and didn't come back up. So I shut it off ,when I tried to restart it ,it would barely turn over . Checked the filter and found very little metal in it, so I restarted it and the oil pressure was at 30lbs. So ,I shut it off and won't try to start it again..It's coming back out AGAIN............But i did get a good pic of it king [img]Dan Hobbs' Tweety Bird - Out of the Nest Again Shop[/img]
