Jack and all,
Im having some email probs so I kept the last one brief.
  Taking the R/T to the track was great! everybody there had seen one on TV
or a mag but not in person. When it ran, lots of people were rooting it on!
Too bad my driving skills are weak. I was glad to see a 15.7 but its not
the consistent 15.12 that HPM got in their "strip thrash". It didnt even
seem like I was thrashing it much more than normal (gonna change the oil
tonight though).
The truck definitely needs:
 1. a shift kit,
 2. better launch technique
 3. a better understanding of what the darn computer is doing
 4. more breaking in
Back to the track next weekend with the cuda and the Jensen (440 powered) ,
so The R/T will get more thrashin after the headers are on in a couple of
weeks...
Hooked,
Bruce Bridges
