Default Almost made it...

Went to the track on Sunday. Couldn't even do a burnout it was wheel hoping so bad. I think my posi was busted before I got to the track. Ran a 13.2 @111 with a 2.2 60ft. I took off at idle so it wouldn't wheel hop but it was so bad I had to get off it in 1st and 2nd. I'm not even going to mess with the 10bolt. How much do 12 bolts slow you down? Think I could hit a 12 with traction?

Hmm, I think you'll lose maybe 10-15rwhp with a 12 bolt. Don't quote me on that, Im pretty sure thats right, though. It is definately worth it in the long run. With a 12 bolt you can launch a lot higher and not worry about snapping it. So being able to launch so much higher may make it up on the track.

Hey I only had 1 tire fire!

Can't wait till I can get a 12bolt and try again.
