If you are barely running out of gear...why not switch to a 3.55 or a stock gear? I'm not sure how bad it will affect your launch but just wondering lol

What tires are you running? Im happy just pulling low 12s on street tires lol. I just got some Nitto NT05Rs but havent been able to use them yet. Hopefully I run an 11.99 or so at Bradenton on the 17th.

I think you need to swap out that 3:73 if you have not done so already.

yea i need to take them out asap.i went to bradention last night and i was running out of gear before the 1000 i would say maybe 2 or 3 car lenghts before the 1000....max speed at 6200 rpm was 123 so im guessing if i go with a 3.27 i should be in the 130 and thats only running off the wastegate which is only 8.7 psi
