Now, I went to 3.55's from 2.73's and my traction went to sh!t. I went from 14.7(@65*) to 15.0 (@95*). The temperature differences would probably equal out the times, but I was pissed.

Jeb, I'm also worried about traction problems going from 2.73 to 3.73 in a week or 2. What were your 60' times with diff gears? Were you running at Bithlo(Orlando Speedworld)? That is where I run & I dont think the traction there is very good anyway...I'll post on here as soon as I do my gear swap & get to the track. Mabe time for drag radials or slicks...:-)! Later!
