First......congratulations. That's more of what I'd expect these cars to run. Imagine the gears are worth between 1-2 tenths of a second. What other mods do you have?

Don't take this a peeing in the pool but based on your 60 foot times you're going to be very hard pressed to see a low 4 second 0-60 mph time. Closer to a mid to semi high four second. Drag Radials will knock about 2 tenths to maybe even 3 tenths off your time and help get closer but might be hard on the drive train. Personally not a big fan of 0-60 numbers as 50% of it is the launch. That's why all wheel drive and rear engine cars like the Porsche do so well in that category.

None the less a very respectable quarter mile and eighth mile making a good showing for the Z cars. Good for you!
