:cheers: Congrats torch, you were so close w/ that 13.0X you had, i knew a good luanch w/ low 60 would do the trick. :thumbs:
I'm going to the track tomorrow to see if i can get a lower 13 sec. slip before i swap my gears.

Probably just some 3.15's, TQ, & transgo. Mid to high 12's would be fine w/ me. Then i plan on spraying my way to 11's.

:cheers: great times.
Unfortunately, I never got to run my car stock. Now, I am having a few mods done before summer gets here. It's nice to see a 2.73 break into the 12's. That gives me real hope for next year. I can't wait.
