Unbelieveably consistent!
Here's my last 6 timeslips from the 1/8th mile... These are on 3 different lanes btw, so don't claim the track sensors are bad.
E T --- M P H
9.207 @ 80.07
9.194 @ 80.07
9.178 @ 80.07
9.005 @ 80.07
9.020 @ 80.07
9.022 @ 80.50
Now if only my ETs were as consistent as my mph.. Between runs 3 and 4 I dropped my tire pressure, so I guess they are pretty consistent other than that. +0.025

Local shop wants way too damn much for parts and labor on a pumpkin that I drop off.

I donno, Kev... pulling apart and resetting the gears requires a lot of specialized tooling... gauges and shims and stuff.
As for gear sourcing, I bet there are a ton of take-out gears out there just waiting to be reused. All these guys with 3.45s that went up to 3.73 and beyond. Just a thought.
