Street tires are holding me back, I wont put anything on there but streets so I dont break anything, so I need to really get the trap speed up to make time!

Gus,

Oh ohhhhh! Be sure to back the distributer timing back at least 2*.

I would not recommend a dry shot, make it a wet one.

And for gosh sakes be careful! :jester

I cant run a dry system with SD can I? I am planning on getting a retarding switch or an MSD box for timing and a rpm window.

I hope you get a ticket for the raffle!
