Keith man, why do you have a 9" with only a 1.76 60 ft. time? Send it down to me and i will give you a 1.39 60 ft. time slip. I would give my left nut to have that rear and performance potential. You guys kill me.

I actually meant let me use your rear in my car. I almost broke 1.5's with street tires and finess, stock rear, easy 3k launch. When i launch harder it spits out parts.
