Two fridays ago. It was my first time at the track with my 3000 stall torque convertor. I pulled a 1.91 60' on my drag radials. Im sure I can get a 13.3 if I can get a 1.8 60'.

Driveability is about 15-20% harsher shifts, but about 50% quicker under normal acceleration. Flooring it will yield about 75% harder shifts, but in about 15% of the time. Its worth every penny. My friend and i did the install in about 7 hrs over two days, it isnt that hard if you just follow the instructions and TAKE YOUR TIME. PM me with any questions. If you want to send me your VB ill do it for a small price .

Im satisfied with it. I had a goal of at least 13.3 with it but I think I can still get it once the weather cools down more. I've launched it on the street a few times at 3000 and it spins way more than it used to. Also if the weather isnt to bad on saturday Im going to go to 75-80 and see what I can do there. I went last saturday with my other car and it wasnt too bad. The track prep was actually pretty good.

Have you gotten any higher traps yet? I'm finally trapping at 105mph.

Really, I haven't been to 75-80 in probably 6-7 years, but the track prep was always awful. I guess it has changed since the re-opening. Maybe I will journey down and watch.

They were running OPS that day also so that may have been why the prep wasnt bad.

I'm guessing 75-80 is a track? where is it located and the highest traps I've gotten N/A is 103.

What size DRs do you have? I'll will have some before I move there in a couple of weeks.

It's a track about 10-15 minutes from my house........I prefer Mason-Dixon, but that is mostly because 75-80 was closed for a number of years.
