First few passes in my truck

A little late on this but i took the truck out saturday to do some test n tune.
I ran on 93 octane and put the timing at 36° timing then off to the track.


First pass i left it in drive and left off idle. It went 8.11 with a 1.73 short time.
Went back and was gonna check the plugs cause it had a bog when i launched.
Pulled the wire off #1 and went for my tools and realized i forgot everything!! I found a flathead screwdriver so i checked the squirters, found a 36 in front and 40 in the rear!!! Put in 31 in fdont and back

2nd pass it hooked good leaving @ 1800 still had a 1.73 short time but went 7.84. Noticed on the return road it was missing and got worried. Went back and walked off to think about how bad it was. Came back and realized my dumbass forgot to put the plugwire back on!!!!

Last pass i left everything the same and hooked the wire up. Left at 2200 and it spun a little cause my weenie burnout. Had a 1.64 60' and it went 7.39
Full increments from the last pass was
R/T .042
60' 1.643
330' 4.792
1/8 7.397
MPH 93.62


All in all for 3 passes im pretty happy. Truck is ~4000 - 4100lbs with me in it.
Also, i wasnt giving it all it had by no means, mainly just playing around making some shakedowns passes and making sure everything is safe and sound!
