Your T/A really had the same 1/4 mile time to 1/10,000th of a second with different 60' and traps? What are the odds....

Runs good, will be taking it to the track for a baseline this Wednesday. Some things will get attention next spring. Needs a better than stock pulley, the tune should really be checked. Its fine for street driving and doesn't throw any codes, but it is too rich and far from ideal, I am sure.

The exhaust has shorty headers, cats and a single 3 inch exit. I will be replacing the entire thing.

Those runs were back to back that night too.

The faster 60ft was a fluke. I was next in line when someone broke at the end of the track. Officials spent a half hour scraping rubber and laying VHT on the track, then I was next.

My test launch didn't spin at all, so I decided to just floor it and dump the clutch at 5000 RPM. The car hooked and felt like it actually pulled the front tires, when they came back down, I was all kinds of squirrelly and had to back out of the throttle. Still the best 60ft I ever turned but I ended up with an almost identical E.T.

I have never been able to repeat that grip.
