I also have the bp engine in my mx. anyone want to give me some tips when i go to the tracks? i also had my passenger seat and my back seats removed. well these are my times.

having a look and yea not bad, not bad you say?

your 60ft time was a constant 2.3 meaning your
consitant getting away from the line, reaction time
would be nice if it was down in the 0.500's but hey
your not racing in the you snooze you lose bracket.

and your trap speed of 81mph is not shabby for a
1600 n/a motor.

Ok so your wheel spinning off the line, lower your tire
pressures, must be smoking up one wheel with a open
diff..

other than that you had a good night out racing and drove your
car home which is what its all about..

That's not bad Do whatever you can to get the 60ft time lower that will be key suspension or lsd something. You really want the 60ft to be around 1.9 or better. Other than that it's looking good.
