ET's will definetly put you in the 12's. I have a slightly used set mounted on Am Rac Bajas that I will sell pretty cheap. Also, I will be in Louisville tomorrow and could deliver them. Shoot me an email if interested. fcrawford@prodigy.net

Well one of the AMAZING things is the B***SHEAT that
flies around from all the reps from the Tuners and the
people on the board. I think they set unrealistic
expectations. Like someone told me that the mods that
I was getting (Stage 1 and 2) would "Take a full second off
your time!" Well, if that was true, then I would be at 12.51
already. Instead, I think they should answer the question
with a more honest "It depends ... The exhaust will give
you 6-8 more HP, but what you can do with it depends
on how you drive."
Also, I would like to suggest that the tuners stop
bad-mouthing the competition. Nothing hurts your
reputation worse than something like "XXXX's chips
are garbage, you'll blow up your motor if you use that one!"
or .... "YYYYY's lying about all his times and trucks" ...
Now ... one other thing that y'all should keep in mind ...
Italian's are VERY emotional ... I know! I was married to one
for thirteen years !!! So take some of the bluster and the
stretch of the facts as just "genetic", cause it is .....
<grin>
As far as what most customers want? A balance between a FAST
truck and a SAFE truck that isn't gonna blow up ...

Keep up the good work
SVT_KY,
Good to see your making progress. Just make sure you have 19-20 lbs in the rear F1's, smoke the he%$ out of them, and do not mash the pedal at the lights. Ease into the throttle a bit. I have gotten consistent 1.83 - 1.84 60' times with practice on F1s. Track conditions also play into your launch. Watch the other cars and see how their hooking up. I believe my previous prediction of 12.6 - 12.7 at 107 or 108 will hold true with practice, good cool air. Just think, if you can lower your 60' times by .2 seconds, you're almost there. Best of luck.
