Nice clean runs !!! Nothing broke, so it was a good night...... A stronger rear and more available traction and you should hit mid 11's with good air, like the last run.

Car sounds good, but you gotta powershift that thing! Right there is 2 tenths.

No need to powershift but damn at least shift it a bit harder! I haven't heard that much time between gears since the import vs domestic races at englishtown.

I wouldn't powershift the stock trans... make sure you let off the gas but just hit those gears faster.
