thanks, im really impressed with the MPH but only spinning to 6500 limits me to 121mph because of the gears so if you guys are going to switch make sure you keep that in mind (thats with 27" tall tires also)

Nope it's a 12 bolt, why would you get rid of the 4.30s?

Very nice

I need to hurry up and get to the track on my ET streets, hopefully I'll come back with a new PB as well

I'll be running basicly the same gear/tire combo as you have now...27x10.5 ET streets with 4.30s... however, watching your vid makes me wonder if the car would be faster on a 28" tire.

Yep. Of course thats not taking any tire growth into consideration. Not a big deal right now though cause even with a decent DA (which is rare around here) I doubt my car would trap any more than 121 or so.

Speaking of DA, what was it on your 11.53 pass?
