    I finally did it. I've been trying to break into the 6's for the last 5-6 weeks now. Well, I didn't win the race since I had dialed a 7.10 but I wasn't there to win money anyway. My goal was to get in the 6's and I did it. Now I can relax a little bit and just have fun. Oh yeah...I redlighted AND broke out!!!
    Here's my numbers:
    R/T = -.1321
    60Ft = 1.6151
    330Ft = 4.7732
    594Ft = 6.4782
    1/8 = 6.9733
    mph = 90.88
    :chirp:

    Thats great Ray ! I knew it could do it!

    Not meaning to Jack the thread but reading this thread makes me wonder what my car might have left in it once the new converter is installed and the 60 ft. comes down ... Comparing your MPH to my best so far of 7.79 at 89.49 but my 60 ft. was 1.78 :huh:
