The track package has the 3.73s. Sumerduck isn't exactly the best track. It's good for launching, but not for times. My 2010 in the same DA ran a 8.39 @ 85.6mph at sumerduck with a 1.93 60' and at MIR it ran a 8.36 @ 86.6mph with a 1.96 60' and that was the same run it ran a 12.92. So at MIR I'm thinking I'd run probably a 8.1x @ 89-90mph or so. Ken is updating the tune though and I'll be doing some datalogs to make sure everything looks good on it and see if we can get it to go even quicker. I'll be shooting for 12.40s on stock tires @ around 114-115mph but we'll see. The 3.73s are perfect for my setup. I can run 93mph in 3rd which is good for the 1/8 and I can run 120 in 4th which is good for the 1/4 lol
