    Matt,

    Excellent results considering your tires. I think that is spot on what it should run. Look for some used 215/60/14 BFG drag radials. That what I was using and they worked very well. The car totally hooked in 2nd gear!

      1/8 9.495
      MPH 83.12
      1000' 12.078
      1/4 14.226
      MPH 105.11

      Wheelspin killed me today, 1 and 2nd gears, a 3.25 diff would have SERIOUSLY helped the 60ft. 1/10 in the 60ft is about equal to 2/10 in the quarter.

      While i was there, i saw a Dodge Ram run a 10 sec 1/4 on slicks, it was maxing out his 80psi boost gauge. I also saw several Hayabusa race bikes.. wow

      What is a "good" time for you matt? 14's seem disappointing to me. I would have thought you'd run low-mid 13's at most.
      My mountains are better than yours.

        Kris,
        He has enough power to run high 12s. It's just a matter of the proper tires, gear ratio and driving skill.

            Oh you got them on I had thought you were waiting till I got back. I forgot to ask Nico if he knew if those wheels you bought were sent. I leave on Saturday for the US again so if they aren't here we have to wait. For the 5er. Hows the weather back home? I here gas spiked again?
