4000 stall is in. Car hits hard but blows the tires off on the street. I think it will hook at the track though. Track this thurs if all goes well.

Ran a 12.48 @ 108 last night in shitty weather. My problem is its not tuned and smacking the rev limiter on the 2-3 shift. Still not too bad. Consistent 1.66 60fts.
