Scott,

You better do something to that black beast. I finally got around to changing my plugs and wires and the car is definately stronger! Once I get those rock hard 6 year old rear tires swapped out I'll be ready to try you again.

We should run up to Great Lakes Dragway some weekend. If Steve doesn't want to race his, we can get someone to rent it just so we can see how it runs.

I too would like to know if someone sees the advantage of the 3.54 gears at the drags with street tires?????

I turn a 1.81/1.82 60 ft. times with my 3:54 gears on street pilots. Most of the Vipers I run, with a stock 3.07 are turning 2.01/2.02s. This equates to about a 3/10 sec better quarter mile.

Socal:
Thanks for the inputs. I was consistently turning very low 2s for 60 ft. at LACR (same day as you), so that gives me a good comparison.

Ben:
I know I need to still learn several things about technique. It's quite a learning experience.

I've got a 2000 GTS with 3.07 gears, and I've turned a 1.86 60' time on stock pilots and ran a 12.05 at 116.6 (Borla cat-back and smooth tubes). I've also gone to the track (Texas Motorplex) on different days and ran 1.99-2.07 60' times. I really think a lot has to do with how your particular track is prepped (can change daily), and your driving abilities. I think a good driver can net very similar 60' times with either 3.07 or 3.54 gears, it's just going to take a different technique for each one.
