ahh the tuning curve begins::: :crazy:



tonight was a reminder that i really need a gear i was going thru the lights in 2nd gear @4,000 rpm. I think a gear would also get the 60 ft down to a respectable time mid 1.60's.and put it into the 7's.



I also need to try out the n2o kit too :D and to get the carb,timing, and suspension dialed in.
