    The new gear did not slow the car down, went to test&tune last night and it went a 6.94 off the trailer, then a 7.00:D, then a 6.97.....not bad for a 7.00 index car with a new gear!! If the weather holds, i'll be entering the 7.00 points race in Mooresville NC this weekend..........:bananaman

    Well, with the old gear it went an 11.1 @ 120mph.(on motor) so I would say that in the 1/4 it would probably be in the high 10's with the new gear.

    Good deal Stephen. Did you make a bottle pass? I was wondering if it helped with the HIT on the tires at the launch?
    P.S.
    I got tech checking into our little problem. Again, sorry.

    No bottle passes yet, I feel like my block is living on borrowed time!!:( However, I am a nitrous dealer now with a new pumping station and everything.......so, i'm sure it will get sprayed before the year is over......probably at the roundup!!(y)
