I'm still looking for a Bellhousing that hasn't got a 6 inch crack in it, maybe try slicks when I get one.
you would be 60 ftin around 1.6 1.8 range with slicks imagine the et difference with that

Duncan , what do you mean by 'lifting @ the big end'?
get off the gas abort the run, waste off time with a poor 60ft, interest straight out the window, you have to get on it to get on it,
thats the other reason i have no interest in the yanks on the street they go up in smoke as soon as you gas em, not nice bein blown on by some dumb spotty faced kid in a blinged up saxo
