Too damn hot, waiting a couple of months for it to cool down to shoot for an 8.99999. I'm wringing this little 76GTS for all it's worth.

If I can get my 240 to hook, hopefully close to single digits... Also depends on what the rollers say after I get it tuned. Nice numbers, I'm waiting for the day I make a single digit pass....
