Not bad. Im working off a 14.26 still. Wheel hop will stick around till a torque dampener is installed or you get better motor mounts.

Hello fellow PA member! I have to ask you a few questions to better answer yours. What track did you run at? Friday night I'm going to the track and your more then welcome to come with. I can give you some real good pointers and I'm not just bragging but stock I ran a 14.2 @ 100mph at Maple Grove, PA. I think after some practice you would be able to run a 13.7-13.8. PM me for some info on Friday night. I'm going to bring the Vid camera and dig. camera. Later!

Ok, I just seen that you sent me a PM. I see your not new to the track...thats good news because at least you will know how to stage in the lane and all that Its always a hard time teaching people that, I can remember when I was learning how to stage how nervus I was. lol Anyways, I have never heard of old bridge raceway. I only run at a few tracks because I like them. Cecil County, MD and Maple Grove, PA. Friday night I'm going to Cecil County, MD. I'll respond to your PM soon as my lil girl finishes breakfast. Have my hands full as a stay home Dad. (I stay home 3 days with the 2 lil ones) ttyl...
