Just watched the vid. That baby picks up quick. My buddy ran a 6.20 in the 1/8 with that mph in his turbo car. Definitely has a good number in it. I wanna go auto so bad. Ready to see what my car is really capable of.

id just leave the heads and go for the 2step and transbrake first. work with that over the summer and next winter save for some aftermarket heads with a thicker deck on them.

how many passes did you run that night? and how did they go?
