I'll be spending the majority of tonight working on the car.

removing subs, rear seats, maybe passenger seat etc....

want a 13.5, but the way this thing launches i dont know if i'll get it...

My ET is too low and my MPH is too high... i need an LSD or even better, AWD...

I'm expecting a 125mph which should be a solid mid 12... but 1-2nd gear is too hard on traction...

oh well, see how we go...

Went for a strap last night...
Can notice the weight difference...

But the noise.... oh dear god... between the howl of the exhausts and the whine of the fuel pump... i think i'll have a headache by the time i get to willowbank...


Also Simon: River fire is on tonight as is powercruise...


So the drag strip will be fairly quiet... Hoping to get 6+ runs in tonight...


Woot!
