Thanks, yeah I'm pretty confident that it would go 6.3x if I put some motor plugs in it. I might play around next season with it to see what it will do..

Yeah I checked tires before every run..The anti-roll bar was loose on the drivers side for some reason..whoops..lol

The 60' for the pass on the video was a 1.27, on some wore smooth the hell out MT 28x10.5 slicks. Got two new sets for next season at home.

Yeah I'm really excited for next season to get here so I can get out and do some more testing, to get it lined out for the classes I'm running in next year..

You have to order some metric to standard adapters, I bought mine through autobarn. Here's a link to the ones I bought:

What you need is in that kit. It had both adapters you need. One for the head, and one for a oil pressure. But feel free to call them if you don't see what you need.

Well I have had to add weight to it for this season of racing. I had to add 250lbs to the car for the heads up class I'm racing in this year. Race weight for the class is 3100. But with weight removed its around 2850-2875lbs with me in it.

That adapter fitting kit is pretty cool. I wish I found that last year. It took me forever to find the oil presure fitting lol.

My car is 2820 lbs with me in it. PW, PL, CD player with two speakers in the pakage tray. full glass windows. i love it..

nice job Kevin.
