Okay. Thank you Mark.

Zipper,I ran 4.56 gears this past season because I put a plate on the car with the idea of spraying my way to the 5.95 index. It ended up that I never touched the button. Those 4.56's took my 60' from 1.42-1.45 down to a 1.6-1.65. Of course,I'm pulling timing out on every pass trying to run the 6.95 index,but it still killed my short time. I'm thinking that the slow 60' couldnt be helping my reactions time either. Takes soooo long for the car to move!

I really prefer running on foot brake,but its hard to be competitive when 90% of the field runs t-brakes. EVERY round I lost last season was due to getting treed. And the biggest margin was 0.0300 sec. , so Im right there on them. Hoping going back to the 5.14s will help jump off the line a bit faster.

And I know what you mean about affording stuff. Man,if I break anything I'll be out for the season. I'm tapped. But hey...it's a Chevy...it ain't gonna break! :shock:
