That's the plan. Actually looking into the N2MB WOT Box. 2 Step and No lift shift!

Not with the cutout closed. It purs like a prius and since it runs on alternative renewable fuels I can park in those fancy eco-friendly parking spots at hip places like whole foods.

I'd be looking at those as well so it sounds like you are on your way. I ran a 2step and NLS on my 6speed 135i. Makes a big difference but I never had the rubber out back to put it the 2step to good use.

Will those work with Fbodies fine? I've been looking at a 2 step and I already no lift shift (sometimes) but have thought about getting something like this.

I'm not a fan of the WOT box, my buddy has it in his c5z, the nls feature sucks and he's always had issues with the two step. Last time he took it to the track it kept engaging during the burnout, then wouldn't engage on the line but would work in the staging lanes after the runs. Just very temperamental. Keep in mind if you plan on running a 2 step you're going to need a bias ply, it'll hit the tires to hard for a radial.

One of my colleagues posed a valid question at the basketball game last night.

Care to shed some light on this, Hio/Nate? WV, Virginia - all the same!

Oh and ill be bringing a heavy hitter with me... my buddy with his coyote stock Fox. He went 10.7 at 124 and that was with his 395whp/330wtq 306ci SBF. His coyote platform just dropped 250-300lbs and made 440whp/400wtq. I expect to be seeing that car running 10.3-10.4s at 130ish. I used to have him on the roll. Pretty sure hes got my number even on that now. Though he thinks other wise. If i pulled him on the roll... it would be after 100... but no way before hand.

The first run of the day was a 102mph 1/8th trap and good back end except the 1/4 et and trap screwed up and didnt show on the slip. Was that a 12 second run too?

Cough cough... I have a brand new never used WOT box that I had bought to put on my car for sale. Good price if interested. I can post pics to you when I get home from work after 11pm.

It is a great time. Tons of cars. Expect at last 30-35 races a day if your cruise around. You will have fun. Fall is much better.

I got your back against the fox with old school power!

Look forward to a great time. My buddy Matt (beans) is working on finishing his turbo build on his 750. Shooting for 250whp.
