is it hard to slip that twin disk or did you just wind it up and dump it?

I just used the factory set launch control. It is taking some getting used to thats for sure. I know I can get into the 11s with a good start. With my 2.0 60ft times...There is some improvement that can be made. My trap times are good enough for 11s for sure..We will see next week.

Well you can probably muster up an 11 sec pass the way it sits. But that 60' gotta come down some. drop a low low 1.7 or if you can break into the 1.6 range you will get that 11 second pass.

What size wheels / tires u using?? Street tires I am Assuming???

The only reason I am asking about the weight is that . I made 380whp at 21 psi on BR's dyno and trapped much faster than your 113mph.

So that is why I am wonderin how much heavier the X is than my VIII at the time!!!

There is an unmanned scale right by my house up here. I weighed my IX last year and with a 3/4 or more tank of gas it weighed in at 3150. Only missing spare tire/jack.

Never thought X's were that heavy... would be nice to see an exact number though.

Edit: what i was getting at, if you cant find one, i would gladly tell you where it was.
