Congrats Jarrod! I'm curious if my 5 speed is giving me a big edge in
60ft times though. I used get 2.25 60 fts with the stock Invicta tires
and no mods! My truck ran 88mph in stock form also (it weighs 3600lbs
with me in it). Your 1/8th mile ET looks pretty good and you should be
in the 15s already. It seems like you're missing some HP on the Big end.
If it won't screw up your computer drop to a 180 thermostat(this got me
over a tenth for $6(used heavy duty robertshaw) Currently, my best 60 ft
is 2.11 on street radials with no traction aids. Are there any automatic
racers out there doing better on street radials than 2.11???
