Additional modification comments:

I Would like to get the truck into the 12s on the engine,the street class break off i currently run in is 13.00,there is an advantage to being the fastest in your class,and i do not want to run pro,there you need a trans brake, 2 step ect... and there are alot more competitors if you have ever been to large event somtimes 200 to 600 cars in pro less than 100 in the street class.
