New best this year NA with T56, 11.11 @ 123 - then broke (seems minor)

Have not had car at track for over a month, decided to take out tonight, first pass out 1.58 60ft leaving about 6k, 11.11 @ 123.69, second pass try leaving harder at 7000, 1.57 60ft, 11,12 @ 124.07 - hmm faster 60 and mph but .01 slower overall.. Next pass come out about 6k again but faster release on clutch, felt pretty good, felt it was pulling all gears hard till 6300 in 4th - car just died, seems to have no spark.. Either MSD went bad, or my suspect is it ate distributer gear, which it has 2 others in past. Went composite gear this time and feel it probably broke. Wanting to spray again soon, should be down to 10.1 I think now. Car still spinning the little 26 x 11 et streets pretty good, having to air down to 10 lbs, really needs 27s or 28s. All in all pretty happy with car still, added weight over winter with interior parts, wheels and N20 and now running with muffler on car.
It should be worth 1/10 with muffler off.

Damn fast for a stick shift car... Got any video's of it racing from the inside to see how fast your shifts are? Also, how streetable is the car?

No inside videos at the time, image I could though if I have a way to mount camera.. Car is very streetable, I generally drive to and from track 1hr each way, have traveled to maryland with as well 5 hrs each.. Clutch is a little sticky and takes a special touch, but very driveable. Probably gets near 20 on highway.

Still has more in, my local track does not believe in prepping.. Should hit a high 10 in cool dry air.
