UPDATE: At Capital Raceway, Bowie, MD it ran 7.65 at 179 mph. At Mason Dixon in Hagerstown, MD it ran 7.70 at 181.0 mph on Labor Day weekend. That was done on the third tune up. There are two more tune ups. Can't wait to see what it runs afterwards.<<<< UPDATE 8-4-07 The final tune-up it ran 7.47 @ 186 with a 114 60ft. The 114 60ft. was on the back tires>>>

I have been dealing with Marsh Performance (Todd) for about 7 years. Whenever I need parts or advise, he takes care of it.
UPDATE: Saturday, August 26th at Capital Raceway in Crofton, MD, the car ran 7.65 at 179 mph on the third tune up - there are 5 tune ups total. This past weekend 9/1 at Mason Dixon Dragway in Hagerstown, Md it ran a 7.70 @181 mph on the third tune. Can't wait to see what the other two tune ups do for it.

If he doesn't know the answer, he will find out and let me know. He has fast delivery and very good prices.If you need or want to talk to Todd, call 336-752-2879 and tell him that Nick sent you.
