NICE! Have you guys raced it? If so what are runnin?

Oh yeah. Its seen a few passes. This one is set up for street kills. My son dials in an inconsistant 10.6-11.4. Good traps and timid luanches. Hes only 17. Ive run 9.4 with 4.10s and slicks. I put 3.55s in it, pulled the timing and fuel, and pilled it back to 50 shot, so he can control it somewhat on street tires and run 93 octane. Its still pretty scary to drive though. Its very nose heavy and light in the rear. Still, even moderate throttle at cruise speed will light up the rubber.
