Picking up .12 ET, and 3.5 MPH with the transmission change is incredible in my mind, especially at that fast of a ET and the toughness of the N.A. class you run in. I'm really surprised. Congratulations to you sir!

I’m right at 2.5 but g rate of acceleration is relative to where your racepak is mounted. I’ve seen people in my class pull close to 3 or as low as 1.9 and all 60’ real close.

Sorry but I don't have a G-Meter in my car or even an Idea of what G's
I'm pulling, so what are we talking here a 12.00 or a 8.00 sec car.
I only graduated 12 grade you see so maybe you could clarify for us
High Schoolers please. LOL Thank You

What does the G data look like across the duration of the run?

What is the cost comparison between the liberty and the proflite?

If you don’t have either, around the same in the long run.
