Thats exactly what i'm feeling... my reaction times werent as good as my
last session. As the day progressed, my times grew slower and slower. I
have nobody to blame but myself. I just was fatigued at the end of the day.

I'm going to change the plugs, and possibly see about getting the shift kit
installed. I'll be back next weekend to see what the truck does with the
15's I had on the 1st time
