    So I went up to PR yesterday and got a few runs in.. I was slightly disappointed at my times, but I guess they are a huge improvement from my 13.7 with a mostly stock car a couple years ago. I know I suck at driving, I guess I need to practice launching better since the lowest 60' time I pulled...

    Everything seems to be going alright, except that the strut looks like it sticks out the top of the CC plate way too far. I used the spacers like the directions said, and I tried to close the hood, it did close, so it might be alright... just didnt look right so I figgured I'd ask.. I'm...
