Yes looking good as a race car again and 12.6 at 107 is more like ET for mph, the 1.6 60ft is quite good as well, but I would think there's more in that car, that mph indicates your putting out around 300hp if that was a trouble free WOT run??.....without knowing the motor spec I would've thought your making more than that, a std hi-po 383 is 300......see you at Dragstalgia

The last run broke the prop and destroyed the trans les. Unsure if the prop braking caused trans failure or vice versa but we will be at dragstalgia non the less :-)

I think that car has broken at least two transmission tailshafts to my knowledge...makes you wonder if some thing is out of alignment or the transmission is solid mounted..

I think Guy pointed out the probable cause/s in another post.....however, not talking anything away from your talents....but I think it may be an idea to let someone professional have a look at the chassis and set up as its cheaper to get things right asap.

I think I'm gonna get a box built and the prop repaired then maybe get Geoff hauser to have a look unless u can recommend anyone on here?

Geoff Hauser is a good man to get to look at the car, you could also pick his brains for some pointers on the engine/trans/converter combo for some performance improvements once the probs are sorted.....Cannonball for the gearbox sounds a good bet.
