Thats pretty sweet. Nice 60' for sure. MPH says you have a little more ET to shave off. I was running 12.5's with 1.9/2.0 60' trapping 110. Should have been running 12.3's but no posi so had to launch off idle. You should have a 12.0 or 11.9 in there somewhere. How aggressive are you shifting?

With the SN's curb weight plus your no small guy,.. your probably looking at a 3500/3600lb race weight depending on how full your tank is. I dont see your 60' dropping below where your at now with out dropping 200lbs somewhere. 1.7 60' is very respectable so your doing it right. Thats where most other SN's are at.

Depending on how hard you beat on the tranny will determine if you want that 11.9 or not. (snicker).
I always went for broke speed shifting with out lifting. The only tranny's I ever sold were ones that I had never used,..

I was referring to T45's,.. compared to T5 the T45 will take a lot more abuse and HP.

I destroyed the T5 in my 89 GT within the first 6 months of owning the car. I dont even think I had 5000 miles. Pissed me off because I had to put the smog pump and stock exhaust back on the car so they wouldnt get suspicious and cover it under warranty.

I was on my 3rd T5 when I traded the car in and 3rd gear was whining then LOL.
