    just wanted to let everyone know i did a 7.70 1/8th mile pass a couple weeks ago with a new proform center section calculates to a 12.01 1/4.so i almost hit the 11s but wait till next year i have a few tricks up my sleeve.also my first year running points i ended up 31st out of 51 drivers.not bad for a rookie.

    You have the need for speed in your blood. I am sure before you are done your quest will be fulfilled.

    Next season you will be in the top ten is my guess. The Grape Ape :) (my nickname for your car) looks good in the pics.

    Great Job on the new time. I was looking at the first pic and IMHO if you preload the right rear a bit and get the tires to come up even it will put you in the 11s. You are waisting some HP in the body twist. Just something to think about. Another thing I did to get mine to lift the same was run 1/2 a pound of air more in the right rear tire.
