You really can gauge what kind of run you will have by the 60' time. If you can get under a 2.0, you'll have a great run! (unless you miss a shift). It's easy to slam it from 2nd to 3rd and so on. The hard part is keeping the tires connected between 1st and 2nd. Hence, your 60' time.
Damn, I'm impressed...I know what you mean about keeping the tires connected... I kept having a problem with the launch I think in part cause of the 8 lb flywheel....I would try launching at like 3k and almost kill the car...and then at about 6k and hop all the way through first and when I would shift even though I was red lining it I was probably not really moving but just hoping the tires so it would bog down...

Kinda makes sense....you can have all the power in the world but it does nothing if you can't get it to the ground........
