Yes Justin, you can hit 6s with that setup.. You might have to wait for the fall though. I ran a 7.28 hitting the rev limiter on a bad hooking track in bad weather with the same lobes and 200 lb more race weight.

I bet it would go faster than a 7.39 if Chris R tuned it!

Good luck. I hope you make it.

I have been trying for the past year to do it (run 6.99). My cars weight is 3200 with me in her and I have a 5.13 gear with 30x9x15 slicks. I cut from 1.46 to 1.52 60fts. I just cant seem to run faster than 7.03.
