What a NIGHT! Alll the new mods to test and I was driving like a newb. I was at the 1/8 by the way, I only got in 4 runs, and there were VERY few prople running (busy watching the bikes And 4 wheelers run). Anyhow, I only won one race (The only person I raced without a V8..) it was a brand new Taurus (V6) driven by a good looking blond woman, she hotlapped the shiit outa that car. I beat her by about 10 cars (1.13 seconds). Anyhow, I launched drappy all 4 runs best 60ft was a terrible 2.62 (against the Taurus). I ran a 10.94 @ 64.5 on that run. Best ET of the night was a 10.65 @64.62 with a 60ft of 2.38 (crappy). Before the recent mods, I was cutting 2.1-2.2 60fts... To top it all off, I had a heat soaked starter for about an hour after the 3rd run... Crappy night, crappy times.

By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
