Haha...hey James! How's the new building working out? I just saw a few pictures that came along with Rick's car and it looks great!

BTW....I would highly recommend ACG for any of you living in San Diego or surrounding area. He was a big part of my cars success and was always very accommodating with great prices. Thanks James.

Here's my mod list:

Custom PC Dyno tune
Renntech 82mm TB w/ green filters
Renntech carbon Fiber airbox
ASP 180mm Pulley
Floored Fabrication long tube headers with 200 cell race cats
Floored Fabrication rear reservoir box
Quaife LSD
Code 3 H/E with Johnson CM30 pump

Awesome runs! That trap is insane, let alone your E.T.s. I could only dream of a 130 trap.

I have a question for you regarding the Quaife LSD. I've been debating whether or not to get one for drag racing and launching in general, but seem to get mixed answers if it will help or not. Some say it helps a lot if you are tracking your car and in the corners, but not so much from straight line dig. Since you hold the record, and have a Quaife LSD, I figured you'd have some valuable input Thanks, and again awesome runs. 10's are in your future!

I'm running M/T street radials and launch at 1000 RPM. I tried higher RPM's but my car only seems to cut high 1.6's - low 1.7's that way.

My numbers on a dyno dynamics is 565 rwhp and 600 rwtq. This was done with 91 octane and I'll be going back for my 100 octane race map...that should be good for a few more ponies.
