Nice runs especially for Milan (an up hill track).

Looking for 8.20s at Milan in that air. If the converter is close this next time , I think it will be there.

But looking forward to going to the east coast, everyone tells me its just different out there. And Im not talking about Pontiac people on PY. We will see first hand if its true or not.

John,
Milan is not a great track for quick cars, they are known for converter & tran breakage. Bad track prep.

I think I will go 1.18-1.20 regularly there. I was 1.22 on the 8.37 pass with lots messed up with the tune and converter on the hit. And have not touched the shocks at all yet.

The only thing they have changed/upgraded in 20 years at Milan is the TP in the restroom! Maybe I am spoiled by Norwalk? I live right between the 2 tracks. John that MPH is crazy fast N/A with the amount of time you have had to tune that ride. Nice work! My bet is you'll be faster than 8.20's racing downhill out East.

Cecil is magical and we are talking about MAGIC MAN MARCELLA but no 7.9s.
