You're still running 11.07... that's pretty respectable.
Think of how of a difference in $$$ are in the two setups - I bet near $500,000. WOuld you pay a half million dollars for 1.3 seconds?
It IS a great looking car though.

Only 3 runs in decent weather, 10.95@129. Need to practice with new setup, launch is different and I've been busy with work. Will ease up in a week or so and I hope we get some cold fronts, haven't been many so far.

That easily supports a 10.7x (even a 10.6x) with just the right launch/shifting.

Yea, it pulls like a freight train on the big end, I can really feel the difference, but the first 660, where it all matters, takes practice and frankly, I'm rusty. Though all my 60's were 1.57, 1.59 and 1.57, I need a 1.51 or 1.4x to turn a good number and I have to practice to get in my rhythm for those.And I really have to beat on the car to do them...
I'm still running my OE clutch with over 60,000 miles on it too...

Jeff, is that your new time with the new heads?? 
11 seconds is pretty freaking fast. That McClaren cost a whole bunch more also.
.... And now your famous!!
