Thanks Pat...I'm at a small town in Delano just 15 minutes from Famoso raceway. I difinately have a true and new appreciation for getting into 10's let alone the 9's...I commend everyone and anyone that's still pushin to get better. You are one of those guys Pat that I continually watch especially being a californian , great job with your ride and can't wait to see it.

Creamo...which tires are you running? I ran my old BFG's and will finally change it out next year to full slicks. Don't be like me and overlook suspension. Good luck though I'll be pulling for you...you're mph is enough to do low 10's and maybe 9's with the right weight

Kumho Excsta XS (255/40/17) 20psi. Track was cold (45*) and I kept cutting 1.9-2.0 60' times. I've got AWD D2's on the car, now I'm looking for some RX7 rims to mount Hoosier slicks on. It was the first time out in a long time, so I was happy w/ the trap speed. ET's will drop next year I hope The car still has 7psi more to go as well

Very nice!!! I'll be on the same wheel/slick combo cheap but very light
I had the HTA3582 and it loves 35 plus psi...wow that thing's not gonna have issues getting to 10's.

Coils will only need replacing if misfire occurs and all other things check out.
It wouldn't hurt to have a spare set.
May be a good time to pick up the billet coil protector caps.
