I tried my new 1.750" restrictor plate today.

Last week I ran 6.38 break out 3rd round.

This week first 2 passes were 6.53 and 6.52, so it did slow it down, and the 60 fts. were both 1.36.

But after their 1 1/2 hour lunch break, it ran 6.49 breakout.

Bought back and won at 6.52 flat out second round.

Third round lost lane choice and had .496 red light and only 6.55, but 60 ft. was off .02 at 1.38.

I still had my 15 degree retard chip on all thru high gear, so I will turn it off next week and see if it runs faster than 6.40. If so, I will get another smaller restrictor plate made, maybe 1.700?

On another note, I went to watch the NMCA race at Indy Saturday and it was a great door car show. Saw 2 cars run 5.98 and 5.99, both double turbos. Lots of low 6.00-6.20 cars there. Even bumped into(literally) Bob Glidden while he was looking over a FORD Shot Gun Hemi twin turbo Mustang. That thing looked like it had 5/8" pushrods.
