I was running in the 80+ mph range stock and at 5600ft elevation, and thats with a 2 second slower run #4559 of 6535 born on Feb 17, 1998 Black 1998.5 CSVT FOR SALE [cleaning house]: SVT rear swaybar. Reasonable offer and its yours!

Your short times aren't too bad for someone that doesn't go to the track very often. If you can cut consistent 2.2X 60's, you should be in good shape at the end of the track. But 78 & 79MPH(10 & 11MPH slower than your best MPH) are SLOW! You should be around 90-92 every run. Mark 2000 Black CSVT 3.0L Hybrid - 206fwhp & 195fwtq

Don't lift of till you complete a "2 APPLE" count after you "think" you crossed the line. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
