Default New best ET... Time slip inside

Went to the track yesterday and as you can see by the 60' I was having some traction issues. I think I need a gear and some tires! Here is my slip:

Hey Rick,

Not a bad time... Nice MPH. Dam do you need traction in the worst way. What did your car dyno at? Im just trying to judge what mines gonna run now. Just got back on Sat with the new mods listed below. (Not going to the track till next month, hoping to get booted for no cage )

Get some sticky tires for that car Rick! You'll be well into the 11s. Your car sure runs strong!

What track did you run at? Judging by the slip it doesn't look like one of Stanton's slips.

That was at Lapeer, but I backed it up almost exactly at Milan the next weekend. It was funny, because I messed up real bad on the launch and was running an SS. We both went 13.0... he went 106mph, I went 118mph

My car definitely woke up with mods, the best I could do stock (with a catback) was 13.4@104 pretty consistently.
