Re: quick 13's???

I think you can with a 100 shot or so, with a bottle heater though.

Don't let it go lean or detonate. Only spray enough to get the job done.

Re: quick 13's???

I didn't run the 1/4 mile, but by the 1/8th mile times I was running 12.9-13.2.

With a 75hp shot, I was easily into the 13's
