    I have the Satisfied Grand Sports and Brembo drilled rotors already. Should do the trick. Most drag strips have plenty of shutdown area. I already trap over 120 and can make the 1st turnoff if I want to.

    I think the motor will be capable of it, but the car will not, at least not for awhile.
    I'm going to have to put in a rollbar.

    So I'll shoot for 10.00 at 134.99, that way I won't need a cage or a chute. LOL

    I'm not really sure Marcus. The car and driver would need to lose some weight. The rest of my drivetrain will need to be beefed, suspension bettered. I'm looking for mid to high 10's until we get everything sorted out. High 10's should be easy, as long as nothing breaks.As Hal crosses his fingers
