Well I took the new combo to the track last night and was a little disappointed, but know there is more room for improvement. Had some clutch issues hurting me big time, and it was my first time ever on real slicks. Car went a best of 12.1 at 110.5 mph on motor with a 1.68 60ft, and 11.3 at 119.5 with a 1.65 60ft on a 100 shot. Will post some slips later when I get home. On motor the car would hook hard and then bog pretty bad with 5k-5,500 launches. Nitrous felt a lot better but fought clutch slippage worse there. I am going to take the trans out and take a look at the clutch and go from there. The clutch was making for some difficult shifting as well. I think this thing has a few more mph in it for sure.

That's pretty good, I'm sure the times will continue to improve no doubt about it, that pony still has more fight in her for damm sure, once you get your clutch issue solved I'm sure you will find her g spot...
