I will try that. I did notice when I did a show stopping 1 wheel burnout that's when I ran the 11's. Can't wait to get the diff fixed, I got a cobra waiting to run me, should be fun are numbers are very similiar.

there was a guy from PA with a Saleen SC running 12.3 and he wasn't wearing a helmet. Nice guy though. I think you are doing very well, this had an automatic trans. This should help gauge how you are doing. Good job.

PS he said he got 27 mpg o the way to the World Ford Challenge where I started talking to him.

I know its a matter of time before my stock diff is finished, among a lot of other things that it is only a matter of time before...(keeps fingers crossed and says extra prayer)

Its broke but the dealership is replacing it under warranty. So it's not too bad, not out any $$ just won't have the car for a few days. But yeah I have broke so much $hit and wasted so much money on part that did not perform as expected its not even funny.
