    Get those pics when they start!!!  :2thumbs:

    Don't expect  1/2 a second improvement right away. Lots of other factors besides altitude effect ET.
    Traction of course but also tuning the engine to run.  Jets, sparkplugs and timing.....

    I know, i know. I dropped 7/10ths from just a gear swap. 3/10ths from just figuring out what launch the converter wanted. dont claim to be good at tuning, but gotta start somewhere. It will definatley be easier on myself going from such bad air, to really good air. I think i'll be picking up an lm-1 to take some of the guesswork out of it.  :bigsmile: :2thumbs:

    Mike, It's good to hear your making progress on your own car for a change, sure you have to get it tuned right for maximum gains but I wouldn't be surprised to see a 13.9 the first time out, you don't need much... :2cents:
