Anyone else done this?... car runs 12.70 need to be at 13.00...tried before letting off at a certain spot on the track was close but need to be 13.01-2 to win...kinda worried about breaking the cable....going to fold up a small towel and stick it behind the gas pedal...can adjust stop as needed

Using a quart more and thicker (guys use 30 wt a lot for that) oil is an easy ten to fifteen hundredths, that and a couple hundred lbs should get you close to two tenths. Short shifting a couple hundredths. I use 25lb bags of lead shot. If you don't have a weight box in the car, after you go through tech inspection you could just wrap them in a dark tee shirt and drop four in the well in the trunk, a couple behind each seat. I have to put mine in a ballast, or weight box. I see guys putting them behind the seat sometimes. They usually wrap them in old shirts the same color as their carpet. Nobody seems to notice. I tape my shot bags up with duct tape or they always start to leak. Bass Pro has them in the fire arms dept.
Also lower air pressure in the tires help slow you down.

I've noticed that short shifting my car is worth up to .3
Hell I'm no bracket racer by any means, but I've managed to keep
Mike within .002 on half a dozen passes
