The numbers were with R-1s and the 0-60 was with a shift. I moved the rev limiter up in 1st gear to 7000 RPM and now I can hit 60 MPH without a shift.

But, I found out it doesn't matter because Optima is not doing 0 - 60 - 0 MPH it is a stop box deal. Not sure what speed we will hit or the distance.

Thanks for everyone’s kind works on this build. The car has been awsome!

The paint and engine are the high lights. This is the best car I have ever done.

It has been an evolution of learning’s over time and the availability of good aftermarket and factory parts.
