Damn, I was really excited about it too. I guess it is back to weight saving and lots of practice.

Maybe I will write another race fuel tune... I just hate what it does to plugs and o2 sensors in a low compression car.

Indeed... may spend my money on tubular K's and A's; drop some weight in the front and Im sure my stock motor mounts could use a change.

Maybe upgrade the cams, but that'd be alot of work... Ill need to see several n/a cars w/ stock bottom ends getting 11.8's and lower with other grinds before justifying the swap.

I have to see where I clock before I start looking at weight stuff. I don't want to get rid of my sway bars since I drive on the street daily and like to carve a corner here or there.

I know race wheels/tires, tubular k, and the Atkins diet will help shed a few houndred pounds from the car. I just did the AL DS the other day, which I know helped. If I could get to 3700 or 3650 from the 4k I am at now, I know that will greatly help my ET's.

My car has not changed from the 12.0's it likes to run in decent weather.

No changes in anything since last year.

Car weighed in at 3520 in Florida and 3490 at Atco.

Try 104, it won't jack your o2 sensors and will be fine with your plugs. And you can still add timing with it. Thats the route I'm taking.
