I'm hoping so, next round of mods is certainly including some CCW classics with some good rubber.

On the factory toque converter its capable of 10s but I couldn't find those numbers that night. Was only able to make a couple passes (had to be at work by 10 that evening) and she was getting a little heat soaked.
We're going to get back out there after the Texas mile and its 10s or bust. Want to see that 10.xx time slip before I start my next round of mods.

Good ringout... would have been nice if the cold front that just came in would have been a day earlier. I think we have some guys going to HMP tonight.

So you're not going to make TCN2012?

Those Nittos weren't up to the task. I heard tons of tire spin on both runs. There's a LOT left in this monster! I need a ride soon MIKE!

You said it buddy, nearly impossible to hook with the factory torque converter unless I put proper slicks on there lol. I hated missing the show Saturday night, next time ill have to make it out. For sure, you gotta check it out and we can go take a couple pulls on the back road! (Within the legal limitations of course)
