Both of ya'll will gain some better ET with some driving practice. Now 98's car is bone stock right (gears included)? That stock shifter is a pain to race with. Been there, done that. I'd bet he also had around a 2.4-2.3 60 ft.
My timing chain was on it's way out. I just ordered a new one, and I will be putting it in with my cam and all that stuff... I turned it down to 8* just to be safe, but I have run 18* with 92 octane w/o any problems!!

I couldn't have imagined that we would have been more than a few hundred feet above sea level. (We were in Kent, WA at Pacific Raceways...formally Seattle Internation Raceways (SIR)).

His time was with JUST exhaust and the cold air induction setup. He got gears after that run. You are right about his 60' times...one or two of the runs were actually higher I think.

Thanks,
