This pass being my lowest at 1.50!! This Circle D is day and night. Glad I decided to just go with the Circle D instead of restalling the Pro Torque.

Very Nice. I hope to see some gains swapping out my soft Pro Torque. Your 60's are better then mine and I have a blower.

Thanks, now I see why your car with a LS3 conversion is leaving so good. My VVT cam is just slightly bigger.

Ok I didn't think I heard it locking. That might be a good experiment to try. Most all of us that run Circle D's are locking in 3rd or 4th gear and gaining a fraction on ET and about 1-2 mph. Might push the car into 10.99?

Talking Season is over

Welp, Id say I had a pretty good season this year. Made HUGE gains from last season due to H/C work. Made over 70 passes this season. Started the season at a 11.94 1.81 60" best to now 11.11 1.48 60" best. This car is down right consistent and solid. Couldn't break 10.99, but I am going to do a few things and see if it can happen come Spring '15! Now winter project time.....
