Had a blast at the drag strip really happy with the way that the FD behaved. I ran twice down the strip first run was 15.5 boggin off the line missing 3rd gear. 2nd run i got a 13.6 against an eagle talon, pretty good run.

Man I wish I could turn consistent 2.0 60's. I might be able to break into the 12s at altitude if I could. Just got some new tires so maybe next Friday I'll head down and give it a shot.

there was a 5.0 having a hard time getting into the 12's and he has slicks. I have drag radials on the FD and was still breaking loose at lunch. Im pretty sure with a good burnout a lower pressure would've fix that problem.

I ran 13.3 before with like a 2.3 or 2.4 60'. So a 2.0 should easily put me in the 12s. Pueblo's not really known for being a well-prepped track though, heh. Plus I'm not the best at launching.

I'm game man, I'm anxious to see what your T70 has got! I probably won't get around to dynoing mine anytime soon, I really need to go an ignition upgrade (doing an IGN-1 coil-on-plug type system) before I can run much more than 12-14psi anyways.
