My build is going to be a watered down version of yours, I guess more like your old setup. I cant wait for your new numbers though.

I was happy with my last setup. Till the rod broke lol. Wish i could have had more time with it. Think with good tune it would have went 7.0s in the 1/8th na. How much longer do you have on yours?
