Swapped to Automatic, picked up .3 tenths in the 1/8

I swapped out the T5 in favor of a Th350 to gain consistantcy and picked up .3 tenths in the process. Previous best 1/8 time was 8.306 @ 84.06 mph new time 8.06 @ 85.6 mph. Now if I could get my left foot comfortable on the brake I might be able to win some braket races.

Good numbers. With that 1/8th you should see 12.6-12.8 at 106 or so! My friends LX ran that yesterday with a very similar 1/8 and almost exact mph (he ran 84.65)!
