ET dropped .2-.3 over my previous best and again that was compared to much cooler air. All of those are positives. The main negative I had was that the new DR's really just keep me from spinning down the track, not leave any harder. My car has 3.15 gears and the stock converter and even on the DR's, my best 60' was a 2.02. I'm guessing that gears or converter is all that will help that... or a lot more power. I tried flashing it off idle, leaving with about 1500 rpms and leaving just below powerbraking rpms (around 2100 or so). All pretty much the same 60. The 1500rpm was the best, but only marginally.

a small bit of NAWS
