So, i finally got to run my car at New England Dragway, post weiand install. Thd night started kind of oddly- I was waiting in the pits, when someone pulled up nest to me, in an '88 Tbird turbo coupe. Mildly modified, still a 2.3, running 13.9 in the quarter. A few minutes later, his buddy pulled in, in a '84 SVO. A little rough, only running in the 15's, but a good solid car. About an hour later, someone pulled in next to us, in an '86 SVO. None of us knew him, just complete coincidence. So, we had my '83, plus 2 SVO's and a turbo coupe. And i had no camera. Damn.
Further oddness, more on a technical point. My car ran ok, considering i have done 0 tuning, it is running too retarded, and pig rich. I got a best of 13.1 at 101, with a horrible 2.2 60' time. However, and this is the odd part, i am running out of gear about 300 feet from the stripe, and actually having to shift into overdrive. 5th gear, on a quarter mile strip, with 3.73 gears. ??? Could i have some kind of oddball t5? I actually have no idea what it is, my car was originally an srod car.
