No that would be from your pu$sy footing it off the line and your respect for the drivetrain on the shifts

Fear of breaking must go out the window when racing or you wont ever reach near potential

Good point, I'm guessing that if I ran the car with this setup, it would hit 12.8 at 115-116 mph with a 2.2 60'. haha.

It would just be funny to actually have that little advantage work in my favor some day. And ill try to make it to more meets this year. I need all the bigger friends i can get lol

You'd be surprised how much I can eat. High metabolism doesn't allow me to keep any of it though. My gf is the same way. She weighs 105 and can probably eat more than some of you. Its really weird.

My metabolism is the same way. I'm 6'2" @ 160 and don't gain weight for ****, but I eat 3-6 times a day. I burn energy fast and get hungry by the hour...lol Its super easy for me to lose weight, but gain it...that's a different story.

I'm still doing low 13's at 115+ mph on street tires. Just can't get traction... breaking loose in 3rd at times. Dyno numbers do not correlate to track numbers unless you're 1. a great f'ing driver and 2. running dr's or slicks.
