I am still really impressed on how it performed. I was telling a buddy about it today at work. I was really expecting a mid to low 12 the first time out. I was shocked when you ripped off a 11.6 and the MPH with that converter/gear was impressive as well. Hats off to you man! I am looking forward to seeing how it evolves over time.

Knowing him and his OCD compulsions, I would expect 10.5-10.8 on motor and highly possible to see single digits on the gas once he gets everything tuned out just right.

I don't have anywhere near the engine he has and I am shooting for 9.0 on motor, and 7.50 or faster (1/8th mile) on nitrous when I get different gears in the rear end.

Worst thing to deal with is getting headers that will clear like they are CLAIMED to...

Everything else is just a slight pain in the ***..

S10 pickup rollers are cheap. Square bodies can weigh down to 2600 w driver. Go for it!
