not to mention i've been off for 2 months but that could be attributed to the new born also...

With the way the economy is right now, any work is good.

I seen him make two passes. The first one I seen he went 11.87 with a little tire spin and spraying. Second he spun pretty bad and I don't remember the et.

I am toying with the idea of getting the same one. Im not sure though.

i've driven it enough to get a feel for it. i can say it is looser than my old yank ss3600. as for a daily driving it, i wouldn't.

Same here. Next time we meet up hopefully we're side-by-side or me slightly ahead.

Ok, thanks. Thats what I was looking for. But I was hoping you were going to say its nice for a daily.

What do you think about the 3600 for a dd? I also was thinking of something around 3500 or so from PTC or Edge, or a tighter converter than yours from Circle D.

oops... i should have included the results from Sunday hehe!

first, headwind was a bitch (15mph). if there would have been none and if i would have stripped my truck down, i could have possibly beat my record n/a run of 12.48. it also hit the rev limiter on the 1st to 2nd shift for some reason.

12.48 apr07 ---12.62 feb09
Yank SS3600 --- CircleD 3C

1.738---------1.681 (new pb n/a)
5.061---------5.034
7.895---------7.917
86.13---------84.55
10.375------- 10.453
12.488------- 12.627
106.37------- 103.23

also had a new best on the 75 shot!

1.627 (new pb n20)
4.758
7.475
90.18
9.848
11.879
110.70

in my opinion, for a DD i would go no higher than a 3600. what are you running now?

yes, Chris @ CircleD told me it's a 3600 behind a car but would be closer to 3800 in my truck.

Its supposed to be a 3200 but its tiiiighttt(doesnt even flash to 3000). I dont feel like taking the truck apart to wait for it to be restalled so Im planning on buying something else and selling this one.
