Good luck this year.

believe me it wont see the brake until after a new rear end. And the 2.73 are a big disadvantage, it will probably end up with a set of 3.55s

i have no doubt in my mind that you are correct. If it had 3.73 or 4.10s it would have

2.7x gears just mean you need to leave on more boost to make up for less TQ multiplication. I love my 2.75 gears, highway friendly 
I'm pretty sure I could get in the 1.4x 60' range if I did some suspension work.

the best 60' it cut was a 1.59 while spinning when i left on 9 lbs. Im sure i could get it down to a 1.55 if it hooked on that boost. Thats when it went for the wall in the long video(right lane pass). Spun had to pedal it to get it back in the groove, and shifted short shifted into third and still went a 6.73. We'll see what happens this friday night

I only trap 6.7s @ 104 in the 1/8 though. Your setup has quite a bit more oomph than mine with the 108 trap. Took me 15psi to do it too.

I'm digging your setup, looks awesome. I like the front bumper downpipe. I just wouldn't want to walk by it.
