Going to the track tonight, weather should be pretty nice, except for a possibly head wind... My previous best is 15.08 @ 93.8. Since then, I've done the following. Quaife, UR clutch, 3.5lbs lighter flywheel, and removed the Superchip. Also, just bought Autolite Platinums to change out the +4s. Oh, you only get one guess, and the beer will be of your choice. John P.S. (I'll take the Superchip with me, in case I get crappy runs and I'll pop it back it to see what it'll do) '98 SVT - modded -15.01@91.8 '95 Suzuki GS500E -faster than the above ---wanting a Speed Triple or Superhawk badly

I'm guess a break into a 14.9 at about 94. Add 2 MPH and drop 3 tenths if the wind isn't there.

I can imagine you WOULD pick up those numbers...I was merely speaking from frustrating experience...it seemed whenever I made "sure fire" changes, something would happen and I wouldnt run as well as I hoped. Could be the very unpredictable weather where I am at.. Best of luck. Darin P 93 Probe GT About as close to 300hp as my Tranny can handle...
