work on your 60' launch, it's crucial. do you have an auto or stick?
Taking everything from the back (including the spare tire & jack) is estimated around 50-60 pounds, so thats not bad.
Few tips I was told.
Keep your tank below 1/4 tank, preferable 1/8 tank, fill it with higher grade gas!
just before you begin, turn the heat on to full, that way all of the heat from the engine gets sucked in to the 240, making the engine cooler.
make sure your filter is clean, a dirty filter will hurt you.

That is totally almost impossible to read! I had to turn the moniter sideways, lol
Yeah, yoru R/T killed you, otherwise you woulda had high 16's. But yeah, going from stop in a straight line for 16 seconds is no fun.
