At this point it looks as though I will have to do one of three things to get the car into the 13s. One idea would be to put the car on a severe diet. It only weighs 3,500 with me in it and I really don't want to lose any of my creature comforts so that idea is kind of out. I could wait for cool weather to come back, but that may be another six months. The only other option is to throw more parts at it. I still have a good chunk of my budget to spend so I'll be looking into a few things. If you would like to see something tested, or want Blue Thunder to take a particular direction, drop me a line at steve.baur@primedia.com. Questions or comments are also welcome.
