Get the car to 60 foot.. that one 60' was a tenth faster (1.669)than them all and your 330' (4.80) was the fastest. Looks like you lifted. that was a mid 11 pass happening.

You can chase jets all day, Use to do it and it was a pain. Buy a clamp on pyrometer and make a pass with the meter on max temp lock. The temp number is easy to remember for pefect jetting...How long is the 1/4 mile ...1320 feet. Well that is the same temp number for a gas engine with perfect jetting. Once your jetted to get that number then it's one jet richer on a cold day and one jet lower on a hot day. Or, make the first pass of the day with the pyrometer attached, jet accordingly and the second pass you dialed in... not the 10th pass.. and it's easy piezy..

Thanks Jeff, Good suggestions. I have two nice SW pyrometers that are
the type that have the sender mounted in weld on bungs. They do not have the max temp lock however. I do not want to be guessing at the mixture,
so this sounds like a reasonable fix for that issue. 1320!
