Sounds like your headed in the right direction with an extra gear. I think
the best 1/4 speed we had this year at Bonneville was 213 MPH . LSR is realy
just a long drag race and the better we accelerate the faster we seem to go
at the finish. Like Burklands 341 MPH 1/4 speed, that boy was hooked up.
Makes me wonder, if 4WD was allowed in /CC how much faster could you and I
go?
