I plan on leaving it alone for now so no nitrous for me. Gonna try taller tires with skinnys up front and hope for better weather to get me below 11.50's.

Why would you want taller tires? What height do you have now?

I was hitting the rev limiter right before the traps in 4th. I tried shifting into 5th and it only made my trap speed lower. 115 hitting the rev limiter in 4th vs 114 shifting into 5th. I was using 26" MT's so I'm gonna try my 28" MT's and see if it helps any.

Its probably going to slow you down. I know I saw a video on here of a guy shifting into 5th gear going through the traps.

So sick, that was impressive. I plan on the same mods but 20" Steeda ultralites and If needed a 75 or 100 horse "NX" N20 system to run 11's on 20's

It may slow me down, but I won't know til I try it. I shifted into 5th 3 out of 4 times (missed 5th on one of the runs but still ran 11.94) and it didn't help me any.

What gear are you running in the rear? I have 4.10's, and 26" tires, and I'm thinking about going back down to a 3.73. I bought my car with 3.31's, so, I wanted to try 4.10's. But, it's just too short of a gear with this 6spd.

I have factory 3.73's. With a 26" tire I hit the rev limiter right before the traps in 4th. My limiter is set at 7300. IMO a 27" tall tire would be perfect for the 3.73's.
