Trust me, I am not psi. I was just making observations, that it!

If I try to manually shift then it will just bounce off the rev limiter even when I shift it up to 2nd. I have to figure out what's going on with that programmer. So yes, the gears would have killed him from a dig if i was hooking and my car was shifting correctly. But remember, I ran him from a 40 roll and a 50 roll too. And still beat him by about 3 or 4 cars. Next mods after tires are long tubes and probably ls6 intake. Not sure yet though, those are just my plans as of right now
with the revlimiter at 6300

I don't know, I never had to mess with that with the old gear. I am going to get out there tomorrow when it's daylight and figure this thing out. I don't know much about that programmer but I am going to learn. haha. I'll figure it out. Appreciate the advice though, anything helps.

No matter the gear the outcome would have been basically the same....if closer in your book is 6 inches more; more power to you.

But not if you're spinning man. I know what you're saying but it isn't gonna make a difference if the car isn't moving. I literally was fishtailing through 2 gears and finally straightened up right before I hit 3rd. That's not a lie, I have witnesses

Thanks, I just wanna run him when I get some tires. I really just wanna feel the car hook one time. I have had these tires since I got the gear and I have never felt it hook at all, not even close. I should get the tires tomorrow night.

Yeah man, that would be nice. I am putting some M/T street radials on so they should hook good. A friend of mine has them on his T/A which is pushing alot more than me and he hooks up good. I can't wait

I HATE when people question mods after (or even during) a race. I probably have the least track racing experience so I might be out of line, but... mods are mods. If someone is to call someone out, then you have what you have. If someone starts bitching about being outmodded, it's their own damn fault. I would never get into a fight with someone that is in better shape and complain that he kicked my *** because he "worked out more". ( I have no idea where I'm going with this). Anyway, I think that this kill; and its a great one BTW; shows alot. Good kill. I don't care what mods you had. You were called out and you stood up to it and whooped.

My friend rode with him on the way there and said he was talking so much ****. Then after the first race when he got me, he was calling his friend saying he smoked me and everything. Then after I beat him 7 straight times!!!! haha, he didn't SAY A WORD! Not a damn word. My friend Andy said he was quiet the rest of the night cause he has never raced anything that could beat him.
