      Better (new) transmission... some weight reduction (if possible), second stage of nitrous (if needed)
      DW2013 - DNF (Gateway - trans failure)
      DW2014 - SR BB/PA class winner!
      DW2015 - Finished in 1 piece (for once!)
      DW2016 - Still "Fox Free" ;)

        Overdrive and overtest everything so I carry less spares!

          Just get my junk tested before next year... might buy a new set of heads
          (depending on what I find wrong with my W-5 set)... I might raise up the
          truck 1" for better road clearance

            Don't know. Have a lead on a couple cars....but who knows what will happen.

            Either that or serious weight reduction.

              Probably some weight reduction and replace some stuff as maintenance. Its got two DWs on these roller lifters, it would probably be a good idea to replace them.

                      get the roller lifters rebuilt, trying to decide on one of three options. 1. 100 shot on bottle / 2. tunnel with 2 - 4's / 3. junk the 850 for a dominator.

                        Start on finishing 2013's "Plan A" before May . . . .

                        (I predict it will take a mid-11 car just to squeeze into the DD Quick 32 at DW '14)

                          I'm loosely shooting for 2015 for a Turbo OHC 6 '69 Firebird. Next year for me is improbable as I hadn't intended on going and my vacation time might be exhausted before September.

                            the air suggestion sounded good and get rid of the air noise ... I Can go a little faster but without a bar its not going to happen so 11.60 is it.
