RE: I'm getting "anxious"
I didnt mean to offend you, if you read that thread ALOT of people doubted him. That's all i meant.
im still skeptical of a 12.9 with just a 1.7, but if there is video footage,, how can i be?
i'm hoping for a 1.8 this spring to put me in the 13.6 range..
which still seems odd, considering with minor mods and a 1.7, he was able to get in the 12.9's

RE: I'm getting "anxious"
How much are you power shifting that bad boy to get that kind of MPH?
I know when I didn't powershift my 02 GT, I could barely trap 101mph, but with some major powershifting I was picking up on average 3 mph...

RE: I'm getting "anxious"
I'm power shifting the entire run.
When I didnt power shift, it would still trap around 101/102.
I think the first time I launch it with the 4.30's and realize 1st gear is gone faster then with the 4.10's Ill be scrambling to power shift into 2nd

RE: I'm getting "anxious"
Sounds about right!
Sounds like you are an excellent driver
Those 4.30's will throw you off, I struggled a lot longer than I anticipated with them. I wasted probably 7 runs just trying to figure out how to get through first and how much I had to ease off the throttle powershifting into 2nd before I got it right. I was on street tires though.
I also went from 4.10's to 4.30's. Best I could do was 13.8@104.
