904....and if iirc, low gear too. But that may have been changed out.

Did you add weight to the front before taking gear out of it? Making some power. No we didn't have any with us. Brett thinks it will be faster to eighth with steep gears in it. I'm no expert, but it looks like it could have used 100# up front before making the gear change. It would probably still be quicker to the 1/8th with the added weight. I think it will take a pile of weight up front to hold it down. Last pass of the day he got after the launch with the 4.30s and pulled a 1.5' wheelie. I don't know what he will do with Mr 909 in there.

Great numbers.

Great numbers. This is probably the best bet.
