lol, mabe a diet would help your times a bit too and you can hit the 11's

no hate just sayin

rule of thumb is 100 lbs = ~.1 in the 1/4 thats alot of weight though, did you remove you spare tire before the previous times?

great times btw

Blacksmoke:
If your shifting is bad, you do not have a MGW that's for sure.
And are you even certain it is a short throw shifter? If you don't like the shifting you might as well replace it with the MGW. It's not an expensive mod by any means and you don't want to not enjoy running at the track because your shifts suck butt. Just replace that sucker with the MGW and make your track runs fun.

------------------

thanks for the info, ill def check this out, but you know, it might be the driver the probleme:P ill try get the name of what im using atm, see if it really worth anything if not, ill order the brand ur talking about with no hesitation. I dont have any probleme shifting semi-aggressiv out of track, gotta say I was hella nervous too..
