I like what you are doing.Keeping it simple and not too expensive is the way to have fun IMHO.I'm about to do the same with my Demon(street/strip duty)and am going to keep the 9:1 440 that runs on pump gas all day and still runs a bit faster than mid 11's.

The $$$$ at the track is the same whether you run 9's or 11's,so why spend all that money for the same payout??
