Vid of my 88 Coupe vs an old Mopar

Was just a time trial run at an NHRA event. Granny shifting and short shifting, wasn't a great run but the only one I have on vid. Clutch is shot. Time to put the C6 in i guess.

Thanks guys. Ya the MPH is definitely there for 11's. I need some slicks and the auto will help. Not from a fun factor standpoint but from a consistency standpoint for bracket racing. I was only running Nitto's in the vid so I can only launch at low RPM. I'm gonna transfer my mickeys from my 96 over to this car and see what they can hold. I'll try them out next weekend and see what video I can get.

Definitely was not my best run. It's run a 12.5 @115mph. It's also only 8.5:1 compression on pump gas with a very small cam. My shift light is set for 5600rpm and the rev limiter is only set for 5800. She has a lot more in her. It's set up for a Procharger F2 over the Winter. I'm just breaking her in.
