You just keep on getting quicker and quicker. Amazing and well deserved. I'm waiting for you to find a differential solution with better gear ratios. Can you imagine?

I really wish you could make it to the 1/2 mile event in Clayton, GA this year. I'd love to see that Crossfire stomping the GTR's and Porches.

thanks everyone, I spoke with Rudy last Sunday about a change I was going to make and he agreed, made the change ,,the trap went up 1.5 mph and the et went down also.

Les,, we are in the works for a (challenger diff.)392 rear,,or a Ford 9" with 391 gears,, maybe this year, if all goes well .I just gave it away, now everyone knows LOL..
I could just use nitrous but this motor has run so flawless I don't need it. 20,000miles and 154 1/4 mile runs and it feels stronger than the day I got it.. jim

jim I'm not sure what the rear swap will cost you but it will drastically change the way the car handles on both the track and the street. going from a live axle to a fixed may not be the best choice. if your bored search undercover performance. the tuner is a master at what he does with the proefi engine management system. launch control traction control are just the tip of the iceberg that may get you were you want to be. its like using a macbook pro vs a commodore 64!

I know what u r saying. if i do do it i will do in a way that i can go back to factory if needed, as for the traction control we JS Benz and I already have the TC set up on a switch to dyno mode, we had to do that before even thinking of a fixed axle set up, we are not finished with the ecu yet. jim

Jim, you need to change your "AMX" emblems to SS/AMX emblems.
Can't wait until you get those gears installed. Then you can go Supra hunting.

Any plans on painting your car red/white/& blue?
