This car is completely sorted out, needs nothing!

One more comment, with the 4.30 gear this car is very fast at the big end and only turns 6400 rpm through the lights. I have it jetted on the fat side now but with a taller gear, say a 56 or 88 where the motor would use a lot more of it’s power band up around 7000 to 7200 rpm. I think it would be a 10.0 car, maybe even into the high 9′s. I set the car up this way on purpose so the motor would last longer. I foot brake this car from idel.
