So, this evening I was able to get it straight, stopped in the middle of the road, on a fairly flat grade, and launch the lumina 1 more time. (I've finally resolved all the overheating also)

I got almost to the quarter mile (80mph) and had to hit the brakes as a curve was coming up, but I beat the previous 17.2 second time I had.

I imagine if I actually could get it staged right with no interference, I could do like, 15.8 or so best time with the lumina on a launch.

The current tune is basically hitting the quarter mile at 80 mph consistently just before it shifts to 3rd gear @85mph, I tried it numerous times following that and got around that time


I'll hit it with a 100 shot sometime and post a new time

I really wish this app was iPhone friendly, I'd like to try it with the ol' 8-Deuce just to see what it would do!

For real ! Lol

Those of you who have posted, post new times with different conditions.

Turn your distributor up a little, put premium in, whatever you can do.


I've been having fun beating my own times.

I gotta put gas in it today. Think I'll put just a couple of gallons and try again.

I run a 5.13 gear with a 30x9 tire, I should have went with 5.38s, but I'm building a 355 for the truck and the 5.13 should be fine. The 327 was mild the 355 will not be mild.
