Snarlin Puppy,

No tests yet! Took the car for a test run Sunday (nothing fast) but

the 3.78 R&P felt good and better suited for the car.The paper numbers

look something close to this:

2000 = 60  MPH - Pretty spot on

3500 = 106  -           "       "     "

4000 = 121 - Paper number only!

5000 = 151     "

5500 = 166     "

6000 = 181     "

6500 = 196     "

We don't expect to test run beyound 180 and I'd expect the front air

dam may cost us -3-5 mph but that the belly pan and other aero tricks

may help equalize. It's gonna be interesting <grin>
