You're not the first to burn a wire.! It's hard to get everything perfect every time. Keep having fun and you'd better keep ur eye on the sky tonight.

got rocker stud fixed and new push rod , went right back to running 12.25--27 range..so i dial a 12.25 and out of now where it runs a 12.16 @109..and i broke out ..have no idea why it pick up over 3 mph and 10th of second..i made no changes, runs where about 45 min apart, everything was the same..it felt more responsive and crisper in water box, on that pass it ran 12.16 but the 60ft and 1/8 mile was 100% identical to the pass that it ran 12.25..it picked up that much on top end..only thing i can think of is it was a fluke or the motor is loosening up , it was a little tight going together
