Thanks, Ted.

Performance mods:
'96 MP PCM (gauges don't function)
MP cam/lifters/springs/retainers/1.6 aluminum rockers
Mike Leach black ceramic-coated headers
Gibson dual rear exit cat-back
K&N 14 x 2.75 open air cleaner
180 tstat, water wetter
F&B Stage 1 TB
Transgo kit
Champion Truck plugs
MP 7.5mm plug wires
BFG 275/60R15 drag radials (28" diameter) on AR 15 x 8 steel rims

I just switched to 235/60R15 drag radials but weather hasn't given
me a chance to run on them. With the 275/60s, my effective gear
ratio was about 3.50 ... with the 235/60s, it's now about 3.80.
I was going through the traps at a bit over 4000 rpm but my HP
peak is around 4800 rpm. With the 235/60s, I should be going through
the traps at around 4400 rpm. The 15.234 was against a fairly stiff
headwind. Hope the change in tires will be enough to get me my goal
of 14.9x and 90+.
