The GTA ran much better this go-around. :D Opening day at Commerce last month, I managed to squeeze out a best of 16.4 at 74mph. The fuel pressure problem isn't fixed yet, but last weekend I replaced all the re-re-re-used upper intake gaskets with brand new Fel-Pros.
Run 1 - 15.661 @ 91.75 / 2.421 60'
Run 2 - 15.125 @ 92.47 / 2.252 60'
Run 3 - 15.021 @ 92.31 / 2.175 60' (I beat someone from here who ran a 15.022 @ 93.37. Red Camaro with purplish stripes.)
Run 4 - 15.034 @ 92.60 / 2.169 60'
Run 5 - 14.941 @ 92.93 / 2.143 60' (My first bracket race. I dialed in at 15.00, but the other guy broke out with a 14.8 so I won.)
Run 6 - 15.152 @ 92.47 / 2.289 60' (I was closer to my dial in, but my opponent had a far better reaction time.)

Good deal. Sorry I missed you today. I was so involved w/ getting my car to run what I wanted, and trying to watch my 9 month old as well, I didn't get to walk around and "meet & greet" like I usually do.

So whats next??????? Cam? Heads? What????

Red Camaro with purplish stripes Their MARON!!!!!! :D

Yeah, you got me out of the whole but i wasn't far behind you. I bounced the crap out of the rear on that run off the line. Very dissapointing. But my last run was just great. I felt it before the top of first gear. And i screamed all the way back to the pits.

I swear I'm not trying to cover up the fact I'm a dumbass, this time I really have a good excuse. :D
What did you end up running?

Best run of 14.91@93mph, and I was stoked. Not bad for an engine that started life as a 17 sec LO3.
