either way good luck. i have about 15 minutes of battery time left on my laptop here so i'm gonna hit they hay for tonight. oh yeah this has nothing to do with this subject but if you ever need to degrease anything go to home depot to the cleaning isle and get a 1 gallon bottle of PURPLE degreaser, it's bad ***. i used it earlier tonight to clean some heads, takes exhaust black off instantly.

things are looking good, went out and did some gtech runs tonight. all 8psi(30%xylene) and no nitrous, 60deg out, no wind. my goal was to work with my tire presure and see if i could hook better but the problem was i just happend to be hooking when i started. not sure why i hook some days and i don't others.

tire presure 38psi. 1.76 60', 3.97 0-60
tire presure 38psi. 1.75 60', 3.94 0-60
tire presure 34psi. 1.75 60', 3.94 0-60
tire presure 30psi. 1.76 60', 3.95 0-60, 7.97 1/8, 12.58 1/4

kind of hard to adjust for traction when i start out hooking, i wish i knew why i hook sometimes and i don't others. prety consistant numbers. i have a solid 200lbs that i can pull off for saturday, it looks to be a colder day than 60deg(high of 44). then a 35 shot! my bigest problem may be hooking, should have got the wider tires <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
