Swap in a 6 speed and go for 250 in the standing mile lol. Congratulations. All that money and hard work paid off. That time is going to be hard to beat. The crazy thing is there is room for improvement in your 60'.

Yeah, we couldn't use the brake sensor to activate the 2 step because the calibration was off making it appear that the brakes were pushed. I have to take it to the dealership to have it recalibrated.
