    What tune, and the suspension helps put the power to the ground.

    I'd say a good half second 0-60 minimum

    Try again without the sand lol

    With a tune, he will have more power sooner than you and shift further up the rmps, so it will still be a one car loss IMO.

    You can try out a tune from Superchips. Their Cortex, tho not really geared towards your mods, would change your shift point and firm things up a bit. Catch him sleepin and you might pull him!

    PM me if you want the code. $343 to your door, 30 day money back guarantee.
