I wasnt allowed to drive as you have to be 17 but dad drove. We only got two passes out of her before it blew a belt and the crank pulley slid forward.

should look into diff gears, that will get the weight moving easier

depends what the future mods are but 4.11 diff gears would really get it moving, when i was researching i read somewhere that decent diff gears should knock about half a second off your times

I'd say 4:11's aswel. But that depends on future mods. You would want to car crossing the line in top gear

4.11 25inch tyres 104mph@5750rpm.
26inch tyre 108mph@5750rpm.

You can run into the 12's with that mph but if you want to go faster 3.89 might be better.
