Yeah, I agree. I'm not doing meth, but the Squash pump and E85 should get me there. I only need a tenth to sneak into the 10's. The rest is icing on the cake!

My bad, meant E85. Another thing to consider is going to 3.45 gears. I gained about .1-.15 from switching my stock 3.27's to 3.45's. And of course some weight drop is free!

No worries. Yeah, depending where I end up (ET) at the track, I might have to remove the passenger and rear seat.

Syn when you start thinking about gear or converter again, is when we are in the middle of the summer and your car slows down a couple of tenths.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right. It really depends what she runs in the spring on E85. If I can pull a 10.8 or 10.9 at 125+, I'm a happy guy! I know we all want more, but I really will be more than happy to "live" here. Assuming she stays together, which I think she will. It's gonna be a long winter!!

With all due respect, no converter in the world will give him a 1.1 sixty foot time. OP, you can look for about .2 improvement of your sixty foot time on a well prepped track with your set up.

They're not saying it will cut .5 seconds off his sixty foot time, that's ET.

That's kind of what I was thinking
