That's a good time, would translate to around a 12.7 in the 1/4. What was your best 1/8 time prior to the throttle upgrade? If you took off at least .2 on your time it's a good investment.

Any new mods to get closer to the 11's?

How has your car fared against M4's?

I notice it doesn't look like the screws were peened on the shaft. Even with loctite I would be nervous about that.
