Default new personal best

took the car to steele alabama today. it was cloudy and 45 but the track was great. i ran my best 1/4 mile pass at a 12.84@ 105.5 1.78 60ft with 2.73 gears. the reason i was on 2.73s is because i have broke 2 3.73 gears in the past 2 months and didnt want to spend anymore $ on the 10 bolt. so i put my stock gears back in. i cant wait to get the 9in with 3.70 gears in.

Congrats. It is nice to be able to beat on the car and not worry about the rear.

Grats! I'm waiting to grenade my 10-bolt to get a 12bolt but the damn thing wont die

Nice times!!! What brand of stall are you running again? Yeah, I want a Moser 9" too.. the issue is that I won't have one in until like April-May since I am running on an 18 year old, still in high school budget.. lol I will let you know what I run when I get that and my 3600 stall.. deciding between 3.70 gears and 3.89 gears for it though

Very nice.. I wish I got a nice tax refund..

All of the tax stuff for me is pretty much not there since I am 18, still in high school, and still live with my parents on the richer side (wish they would give me some of it sooner )

Let me know on your updated times with those new gears

Instead of a 9-inch S60 is a nice choice.
