For a first timer that was prob the best light I have seen a virgin cut LOL. Also seen you stage in reverse HAHA, But im sure you got the hang of it by the end of the night. Nice run.

Ya with a few bolt on's that can be easily done. 12's can be easy with the right bolt on's.

would i be better off manual shifting or just letting the tranny shift itself...i was inconsistent with my times but i was manual shifting the auto...i think with what i got i should be faster than 13.8

Usually your faster just by letting it shift itself. Plus more consistant. Might give it a try next time. Also you need to consider the Air/Elevation. Your car might run faster according to the air density.
