Congrats. I cant wait to run my first 1/4. Wont be a 10 though.
Wheel standing does look cool, the drawback being that if a car is wheel standing then its suspension isnt set up optimally. And givent the geminis rear suspension not being particularly drag friendly, lifting the wheels is hard to avoid.
Again well done.

| If you wanna wheel stand easily in a gem just stick in a 13B turbo and you'll be wheelstanding all day long |

Whats the differance it was never going through with this engine anyway i will be putting a 350 TPI in there for the rego... same trans though, once through and passed a paxton S/charger is going to be fitted and will be quicker than the original engine and more reliable...
