    You'll have no issues putting that car into the 1.3 60 fts. Take that window switch off and wack it straight out of the hole. Ptcis a good company, that's what I had in my car and it was a cheap converter . I hope this new converter is as good lol or I'll be calling ptc back up. Are you getting good weight transfer? And x2 on the 275 Mickey pros.

    Better put big jets in it for Jim, he's got them fancy heads and race cam

    I agree Larry - but it's cheap insurance.

    Forgot to mention - the trans cooler isn't enough to keep it cool at the track, fan and thermostat are on the way

    With the motorplex the left lane is usually prepped pretty mediocre and the right lane is like driving on ice.

    Tires aren't holding me back at this point.

    I'll probably spring for a Nitrous Outlet plate and handfull of jets before I go to a radial.

    nothing wrong with slick. Better on most tracks unless they are prepped like milan's big races

    Sean - all things on the list to do.

    Can't 60 foot if the converter won't flash - and I can't spend $450 on tires right now - the stiff walls will work for now.

    Suspension should be close - might need to make it hit the tires harder but, I'll find out once the converter will flash. It'll need to be tweaked again when I can afford some radials.

    Tim sad it should be easy 1.35-1.40's

    well first thing, get the converter fixed, second get rid of the slicks, 3rd you have a ton of room for improvement especially in the suspension dept. you should be easily out 60 footing what you did with the manual trans.

    He's well aware that I need the slip in the 6%-8% range to make it through the traps
