Thanks greg. It feels good but I still want more lol. The only thing I see holding me back from 10's is all the extra weight and I am not stripping the car.

not ******* you but 2.3 60' ft is not that good. you need to practice on the launch. i would go find an open road and practice. that's what i done when i went to my first track. of course i made lot of mistakes too.but each mistake i made the next one after start getting better. another thing that will help with weight is if you drive out to the track i would estimate how much gas you need to fill the tank cuz when you get to the track you want the tank to be 1/4 or less. less is always better.

no a 2.3 60' is horrible i know that lol. ill never run even a low 11 with that crappy 60' lol. i need practice and more seat time is all. ive been told about the gas deal and have been doing that. i also block the rear springs so it holds more weight over the front wheels when launching.

between better tires and a better me with more practice we will get there

I'm a little behind here, but.... Wow! It's amazing to see how much can be done with a V6. Maybe I'll reach those numbers someday...

Obviously gotta start getting some mods first..

Thanks man!! If you put your heart into it and love the car enough you will find your way to doing a big build like this. It doesn't happen over night but is possible to do for sure!
