Nice, yes, the octane really helps, good to hear.

Ok, I see, well, FWIW, IIa is quite different than the "Stage I" system you're running, much better processor, we tweeked a bunch of the interpolation algorythms too.  I know you'll be really happy with it.

Yes, to the choir, exactly =)  14.3 is great, heck, I was very happy with a 13.2 considering the 100F ambient conditions, etc, but running the CIS3 ignition and the stock manifold, your big wheels and tires, etc, etc, that's a great time.  Getting your launch right will easily knock and few .sec off your ET, your 60' time of 2.0 something is good, but get that down to 1.8 or less and you'll be in the 13's as is.

You really need to get your car out to a road track, that's really where these cars shine.

You'll be in the 12's soon though, comon baby =)
