11.34, 11.44 and 11.52 were the 3 best ET's. The trans will not shift @ high rpm into 3rd gear and i've had 2 trans do the same thing so currently one is tore apart on the bench to see what may be the root of the issue. At high rpm it either goes into 3rd gear and free revs as if the gear is non existant or it goes into the 3rd gear gate but somehow manages to use the 5th gear. You can pull it back out and reput it into 3rd gear and its fine, turns out it'll run 11.5-11.60's all day doing such... Short shifting 3rd around 6k rpm kevin netted the 11.34.

Here's the 3rd gear graph over rpm. Reving to 7500, not sure exactly why he stopped 3rd gear @ 7k.
I have seen a guy swap the TII trans in w/ a hackjob adaptor plate setup. Most the road race guys use the 6spd as the gearing there is not important. If i continued to try drag race the 6spd simply would not work. There is a gearset out for the 5spd that would solve the issue of ripping the gears apart, but right now my issue is trying to find what causes the trans issue w/ high rpm 3rd as i got 2 trans doing the same thing.

I would say this car is a 10 sec car no problem once the 3rd gear shifting is sorted out.
60 foot should be low 1.5's easy on a well preped track.

Wow, great build. I look forward to seeing this at sabin this year.
