if you can hook up, best in the 9.20's probably in that neighborhood. maybe 9.1x...consistantly maybe in the 9.3x

Time gonna depend on traction, but you'll run through 1st and 2nd gear in no time, rev lots faster, and run the traps in 4th. You finished in 3rd with the 2.73 probably, no? 8.8 won't go any faster, just hold up to the beating longer. Aughta run pretty good! Are you running 8th mile, or quarter, I'm thinking quarter.

As long as he doesnt blow the tires off, he will go quicker. 3.73's as opposed to 2.73's, thats a HUGE difference.

i think he was just referring to the 8.8 vs 7.5 in terms of strength....not the gear
