Probably going to need a bigger shot than that. MD was 150 plus to get 10.70. Here's my theory on HTC for the 1/4 mile. Usually the bracket guys have a 5000 stall converter for the great 60' time. There are guys cutting 1.5's and 1.6's but only running low to mid 12's. The launch is awesome with some almost getting the tires off the ground, but once they pass the 1/8 mile the cars just nose over. It's also gearing as well. It will be interesting to say the least to see how the overall gearing is affected and what point on the track the car shifts. As it is 1st gear dissappears pretty quick and most of them can run through the quarter in 3rd gear. If 4th shifts even quicker, there will have to be some track datalogging to customize a map for the 3rd and 4th gear shift. Otherwise the result will be the same nosing over effect.
