Here (http://users.rcn.com/jeephome604/Craigs%2013_81.WMV) is a video clip from the track last Friday. Was the first trip with the 4.11's. Gained about .3 (13.81 last year this time was 14.1-14.2), was 78 degrees, 77% humidity and 30 berometric pressure, ran a little faster then I did in 45 degree weather last year (13.88) so I'm happy with that. Didn't run as high a MPH as I did with the old gears in 45 degree weather (104.06) but ran very consistand MPH's, 101.99, 101.16, 101.35 and 101.45. As you can hear from the clip, very poor traction, accually had some wheel hop on that run. But if I didnt spin as much I ran slower times then if I just blew the tires off the line.. My old best was a 13.88, ran a 13.81 in the video w/ a 2.1 60' so I'm guessing she is a 13.5 car in the cooler air, guess we'll find out come fall..

save up for a new rearend, get some stickies and powershift 1-2 and 3-4
drop those 60's and you'll see low 13's all day:cool:

Thanks! 3-4 is ok and I do.. tried 2-3 and thats when my first clutch went bye bye.. Tried it with the new one (OEM) and she didnt like it so not going to mess with it, especially when its 85 out and im not going to get my best run anyway.. We'll try again in the fall, if it burns up again well then its time to upgrade ;)
