Search for his TX mile thread. It's a good read.

Thanks. As mentioned if you do some digging I posted up a lot of stuff here getting it ready to go.


Rear gears are 3.07's and I juggled my trans gears around to get a .92 O/D. Turns out the engine likes to rev like a **** and I really didn't need to change it. I could have left it at 1 to 1.

It was turning about 6800 RPM or so at the end. But I'm turning 8000 RPM at the end of the 1/4 mile in 4th gear (underdrive).

But it worked!! Getting traction where I could put my foot in it was the tricky part....pretty slippery up to about 180 MPH!

That just gave me the ******* thinking about breaking loose above 100...

Regardless of what it may look like, have you considered rear spoiler options? Seems almost necessary at those speeds with your car.
