Mark told me about this yesterday-huge congrats buddy.

If I was Texas I would buy you a beer or a few-maybe even more....You deserve it.

Job well done!!!

It feels smoother to me than stock. There may be a little additional noise at idle, but it's hard to say because of the twin disk and aluminum flywheel. It maintains mph very well between shifts and really accelerates once the clutch is re-engaged.

On this pass, every shift was right at 6450 to 6500 if I recall from the log. I think there is still room to experiment some, but I do remember that every shift felt just right.

Congrats, that is no small feat. I know Clemsondave would be proud. You are now in the 9 second hall of fame for stock motor and 6-speed.

I have your lower 60ft pass uploaded, Ben. Car was heading to an easy 9.8 after that launch...

Done race gas and cooler air, I think a 9.6-9.7 is doable. Congrats again!
