Also he never said he would do 7.5 in your car I said I would be impressed if you did, I believe he only said he would be faster than you 
All Im arguing for is because you guys think my car is capable of a better time. Yes I et you it is. But I havent learne dit yet.
also I mentioned my restrictions and none of you seem to comprehend that is what is holding me back.
anyways, Ill see you @ Irwindale this thurs. Im geting my TA installed tomorrow.

i just don't see how you're complaining so much about how badly your car is performing on the drag strip when you bought Strano springs (meant for cornering performance, not straight line), i assume Koni's or bilstein revalves (which again, are for cornering), and you put in an aluminum flywheel (which is also meant for cornering)..you setup your car for auto-x and twisty fun, not drag fun. now your trying to get the best time possible to what you should be doing with your mods..thats just not going to happen with what you've done...oh, and to add that the 12 bolt is adding a lot of weight too.
sorry, just had to state this. everyone has already caught onto your 'restrictions', all they're saying is stop making excuses. your car i srunning what your car is running, obviously not what it could be running if you had diff tires and suspension. i too think ninefingers can run better times in your car then you. when you get that kind of track time, and while every car is different, you learn that car faster and know what and how to handle it. think of it like Marco Andretti or Helio Castronevez switching from an IRL car to an ALMS car..they do it, and have to get used to that new car very fast to be competitive, thats why they are professional drivers.
as for the M3, if you haven't run him already, just do it..

Im making excuses ( more like explaining why the car wont do better) because they are telling me Im not running good times. ( Im explaining why Im running those times to them).
Also I still thing when I cut a whole .1 60' and I ran the same time in the 1/8 its a bit disturbing. Both times are with the strano suspension and aluminum flywheel, tahst why I was liek WTF at my time and mph (Which was even slower) thats why I was wondering if I needed a tune due to that.
