Are you running on 17s, 18s at the track? Read this, Just something you might like to try. I ran 15.5@88 on my 17s. I had got new tires to help with the gear ratio of the auto Max. I used a 225/40/16 on my stock rims. My time went to 15.2@over 90mph. I dropped 3tenths and gained almost three mph just by getting a better gear ratio with the smaller tires. I sold them tires to get tires I have now on my 17inch rims so I have not been able to run on smaller tires yet. You need to get some Volk rims or some REAL light rims and put a smaller tire on man, a lighter rim and better gear ratio realt makes a mechanical advantage. I was running on 225/40/16 A520 Yokos. I could get 2.2 60' with no NOS, and I am getting high 2.0 60' now on 17inch tires with the NOS, just somthing to think about....

P.S. I used to like in Waukegan in like 88-91.

I'm running the stock gear

at the moment(215 60 55). I'm planning on running some nitto drag radials 225 50 16 with hopes of better traction and a lower gear ratio.

I've got some Enkie RSE(17's) in the garage. I may put the 245 17 45 drag radial on there if it will fit.
