I don't remember off hand how much ET I dropped. One thing to remember is that you will have an extra shift when you put gears in, so make sure your shifting is very fast otherwise your times will not come down. If you have your timeslip from your best time post all the times on it. You should be in the 13s with a 100mph trap speed. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
