good lord 7 seconds at altitude in a 7?? Good lord we need to get him out here for a week to tune, I'd be willing to shell out extra dough to have him come out!!!!!!!!!

I figure it's worth a try to get him out here.....I just wanted to make sure I have my fuel system installed first. I don't think money is any concern with Demitrious.....he is just so busy but he is a really nice guy......I'm afraid the only time we would be able to get him to tune for us is to bring him out a couple days early for next years NHRA import drags since he will be here anyways.

The more I look at that launch.....the more I think I can get a 1.3 60 ft........It was pathetic....I didn't even use my line lock to do a burnout in 2nd gear and really heat the tires up. You can tell I bogged the launch by how bouncy the car is.....


If you listen to my shifting you can tell I was still pretty slow on 2nd and 4th gear and 3rd gear took me for ever to get in since I had to wait for the RPM's to drop.
