Nice times. Much better than the 12.9 @113 I pulled at Fontana. Your ET seems very solid, especially for Fontana. Do you know what your car dyno'ed at?

It is a Base with 2.41's. The 2.41's work great for the 1/4 mile due to being just over 6000 rpms at the end.

This is just a pet peeve of mine. Isn't it obvious (of course it's not) that you get an immensely better video if you hold the phone "horizontal" (wide shot) rather than vertical where it looks like you are looking through a doorway. ALWAYS HOLD THE PHONE HORIZONTAL FOR VIDEO AND MOST STILLS.

I agree but try telling that to my girlfriend, she won't do it and just get mad if I tell her to.

May run again next Wednesday night, looks like the weather may be better, maybe the DA is going to be lower to get better Numbers.
