1st run at track!

From what I've heard, for every tenth you gain off the line, you can subtract about another tenth at the finish line, so if you can get your 60ft below 2.0 and not burn out too much on the 1-2 shift, you should hit high 13s.
It looks like the gears are actually hurting your time with the wheelspin, because on a run where I bogged on the launch with a 2.2 60-ft time, I ran a 14.3 bone stock.
After reading your earlier posts, I had decided to get 4.10s also, but I tend to get a little excited off the line too, so now I'm not so sure again. I don't think even the 315s in the back would stop the wheelspin altogether because with the 3.27s it occasionally burns out on the launch when I don't mean to if I stab it to quick.
