    10.72 is great for the first pass. what rpm and mph? what is the altitude at the track where you run? were you happy with larry's. sounds like you were. maybe we'll get to meet some day. good luck. did larry tell you what the maximum rpm's should be?:)

    hello

    hello !! how r u? about your question leaving at 4 000 shift point at 6 000 i made the 10.72 just to test every thing is ok but larry told me to leave at 5300 and shift points at 7 200 ,altitude is about 48 meters above sea level and speed was 206 kph next time a will use larry info to try to make a faster pass the first 20 meters(60 ft) was 1.50 the car was spining alittle but wheel standing alot, a think a will need wheelie bars .
