New best with the Slowbra.... I know its from the darkside but I just thought I'd share. Well between swapping the 2.90 pulley for the 2.75, the cold air last night, and some real tires finally I managed to beat my old best by almost 1/2 a second last night. It was amazing to actually feel some traction in this car!!! I can't wait to see what this car is going to feel like with the 90 shot!!! 
I was going to wait until the track rental @ Jackson on the 4th....but I might go back next weekend with the spray on the car. At first I couldn't get used to the new wheel and tire combo so I was launching to high and spinning horribly off the line and my times were no better than were before.....but once I found the right RPM'S and tire pressure it was game on!!! I only made 5 passes last night, I'm thinking with a little more practice on this new combo a 7.0x is there. Here's a few pics of the car in the track trim along w/ timeslips of my first run and best run of the night. JeffSVT actually had my camera to film the 7.1 run but it died as I was doing the burnout!!!!!!

They do, but I'm looking at the very least of 6K for just the hardware + install and tuning. The spray cost me $175 including install and a full bottle.....I'm not looking to have a crazy money pit. I think I'll be happy with a basic bolt on 10 second car that I can still drive to work a few days a week. But then again I also said I would only do a pulley, intake, and exhaust when I first bought the car!!

I like it, it grabs pretty hard. I beat the hell out of it at the track and on the street and it hasn't given me a hard time....yet. The thing I like best is the little pedal effort, the first time I drove the car after putting it in I almost put my foot through the floor board because it was sooo light compared to the stock clutch....
