First time out I will take any gain, I would be happy getting in the 10.8's with a 10.6 as a long term goal.

Weather permitting we are going Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
I'm just hoping for some improvement of any kind. I'm remembering the "for sure" improvements that were coming with the RPM experiment...Your new improvements all point to better ET's especially considering all the insight from others..

I'm not a racer, but am concerned about traction, most of all...
