She runs mid 13's at 104mph with knock retard in 3rd gear, 87 octane, 38psi of tire pressure, 2.1 60' time and a slipping trans that requires lifting when going 2-3 shift or I'll hit the rev limiter. With a good trans I expect 2 tenths and at least 1mph, the rest of my gains will be from removing the 10 degrees of knock retard in all of 3rd gear. With the 3.73 rear I'm in 3rd gear for more than half of the time down the track so I figure at least another mph or two without knock retard :) .
