Allright... I am going to play devil's advocate.

All these shoulda'... woulda'... in the 1/8th mile ain't gonna work. If you run quicker/faster than a 13.57 @ 103+, then you are the quickest. Else, I don't care if you run a 5s 1/8th mile... that does not count

Aahhh... i said it!!

I hope you do get a 8.7 and run very quick.... you are the most prepared to do it at the moment, I would think!

Sweet dude! I need to ditch these stock rims so I can drop the 60's even lower. My best 1/8th was 8.619 @ 82.60. Your car has great torque down low, very close to the torque I make with the S/C.

Can't wait to see what it does in the 1/4 mile.


EDIT: You should have no problem running a 13.4 @ 105 with that 60'. Great job.

It will be interesting if you run a 13.35 @ 103. Your 60' is only a few thousandths quicker than mine (1.979 vs. 2.000). I ran a 13.30 @ 107.8. My car must pull like a mofo on the top end in 3rd gear compared to your car and matt's.

60' 2.000
330' 5.637
1/8 8.619
Mph 82.60
1000' 11.177
1/4 13.309
Mph 107.82



EDIT: I also hit the rev limiter once during the 2 -> 3 shift so who knows it could have been a 13.2xx @ 108.xx I have trapped at 108.xx twice
