Reached one of my goals with the 6.4 this weekend

[bobtile]

After fighting with hot stalling, backfiring, and hot starting issues throughout the year, I finally reached one of my goals. I thought I would be able to squeeze 9.50's out of this combo and finally did....
I still believe that I have ignition issues with it and plan to pull the motor and change the reluctor over the winter which will allow me to use the msd ignition.
The car is very inconsistent.
I get one "hero run" off the trailer and then it has fallen off anywhere from .070 to .200 the next pass.
I managed to win 2 races, runner up in 2 and outed in several semis this year.
2 more races this weekend and then motor gets pulled for a looksie and some improvements.

Bob;
Looks great, keep at it, I know you'll figure it out
That sucks about the hard start or hot start stuff too,
or the inconsistency crap,
MAKES FOR A TOUGH RACE/ROUNDS
looks good launching, with a 1.31 60', & 9.56 @ 137 ain't no slouch

Good Luck last 2 events, go get em', go rounds
& Congrats on the milestones

Stubbornness eventually reveals the gremlins. Good launching.
Great talking with you at Carlisle.
