Batman! this thing flys! 13.30's and 101.281 mph! Same 60 ft as before but then you gotta slap the shifter before it grenades! 8.40's at 82 in the 1/8 I love it!!! It just goes faster on every pass !!! This is the important part! The same combo with a 120 and 7 to one ran 14.00 at 94...the cr bump and Web w/ 1.4 's turned it into a little bomb! 1776 , nothing heads, streetable c/r and a little weight loss and you too can have a mouse that roars!!! Not a whole lot on the bottom, idles real smooth ,but near at 1200 rpm.. kind weak ( kinda?) bellow 28-3000 but then explodes to the 7600 pill...Thanks to some realy great people... Jim Ratto and Darrell McNulty at STF Competition and Ray at Volks Authority for all their hard work and long hours of assistance on this combo... |
