Last current track time before they closed was: Reaction-1.21, 60ft-2.43, 330ft-6.47,1/8-9.73, 1/8mph-77.62. Kinda sucks! This was on street tires(225/50/15) and with the t-9 not speedshifting(have to wait for the rpm's to come down to at least 1200 for 2nd to engage). I believe i have the power, now i just need to get all the drive train up to snuff... I think i may try a t-5 or maybe even the xr4ti automatic...who knows.....trial and error....heh heh heh...and as always,there is always someone outhere who has more knowledge about this than i do, so i welcome any ideas that will help better my track time...
