12:1 comp gsr, p&p, m24 cams, rmf header, skunk 2 mani. i think the rev limit is around 9 but it feels like it is making more power way up top, then i hit the limit once so i started shifting right before.

you where launching to low for slicks.

no if you feather the gas you'll be okay. Sorry but those times are horrible for that setup :-\ is it spinning through first?? is the car tuned? whats the suspension setup? reason i ask is because i ran 13.8 @99mph with a bone stock h22 in an eg hatch on street tires.

hey jeff i think you should let Fabio try and run it....his bitch ass knows how to speed from cops any ways..J/K ;D ;D...

i think you should have practiced out of town...a couple of times during the week...so you can get a feel for the car...if you go friday LMK

plus it was hard enough to get it to the track driving it, trying not to get pulled over using th e"box me in" technique ;D
