Dragon Slayer--

When going from 4 cell to 6 cell, run time can become an issue... a 6 cell pack has more voltage but no more capacity than a 4 cell, all things being the same you'll drain it quicker. You may want to drop a tooth or two if runtime proves to be a factor.

Since you're running stock, you may have runtime to spare... if you've got good packs, just gear for the best laptimes and see if you make the eight minutes easily.
