    I can't really say if it will get you a tenth because I never had one because I never had a drag car yet. If I was to say so I would say it would from reading all my car mags over the years and learning about what they do.

    Here in Ohio, Summit Racing Equipment is big and I found the 2 things that you want to look at. Go to www.summitracing.com
    and on the left of the home page screen you can type in summit part numbers FLX-4136. This is not one of the things that I was talking about but it might be worth looking at. Also type in MOR-65125 and this is what I was talking about. I say if you use this and get another tenth you would have some lee-way to play with.

    Lower temperatures

    Our winters are probably the best season for the dragracer! Summer is just to darn hot here!

    Now that's an idea: An indoor air conditioned dragstrip for year-round racing! Do I have any investors? lol

    (Just hope they have a good exhaust fan, huh).

    what size is the radiator you're using? I've been contemplating doing something like that on the bracket mav, but couldnt find anything that would work
