yea we are both going back on the 20th and this time i'm bringing my car. i agree with u that u should trap a little higher. But the ss mike is talking about really should be worried! I watched him run a 14 more than once.

u should def be trapping more! my ws6 before the longtubes did 13.1 at 110 in 80 degree weather. and no has done 12.50 at 112 with the longtubes an +400 DA or so!

the DA when u ran was prolly around +400 as well at grudge so it wasnt to bad!

let me take it down the track! lol

I remember your car too. Were u with the guy with the black camaro that broke his rear? if u were then i was the guy that asked him how much he was spraying and i told him where tech was when you guys were in the staging lanes.

dont fix an exhaust leak with rtv...if you have a bad 02, change it out with a new one. make sure that thing is running right. im thinking you should be inthe 107 range for sure so make sure that motor is running right... keep us updated
