I'm at NE Dragway right now. Just ran a 14.73@94.03. R/T .432, 60' was 2.285, 330-6.268, 1/8-9.528@75.65. Big difference from the 16.3 before mods! Ahhhh... The smell and the noise!

Well, 14.523 was my best for the day. My third run sucked for me and the SC'd Camaro in lane 2. We had just lined up and warmed up our rubber, the guys in front of us got the tree and went. The audi in my lane choked and cut out. It took over a minute for him to roll the rest of the quarter at 2mph! Me and the Camaro got the go to line up at the tree and we shoulda heated the tires again, duh, 58F out! We pretty much sat there at the green! I can only imagine what the announcer was saying! The funny thing about it is, at a crappy 16.057 from not hooking at the tree, I still did better than before the mods! :banana2:Too bad track's closing soon! Hmmmm... Winter... Let's see... work on the wet 100Shot??? Procharger later... Build up the lower end??? Oh boy, I got the fever!!!;)

Bring it to Atlanta to the SSHS9 race next month. You can bracket race and have time to make a lot of runs!

Or save your money and get the supercharger ealier. There's nothing like having a supercharger. It dosen't matter which one you get...these MM's need BOOST. Period.

Sooooo... Listening to Impalafollowa is like listening to a crack addict? OK! :D Wins all around! You know, the Aluminator really makes me salivate... If the stock market keeps going up... :P Now seriously, Lower compression with the forged lower end is better for an SC?

Yep, it'd be better. NOW your talking, get a nice new forged 8.5ish engine first....THEN blow it. :banana2:

could be alot of factors.

My other MM even with 3.73's,tune and a cold air kit only ran 16.0 @ 88mph.
This MM runs 15.2@92 with 4.10's, tune, cold air kit, and rear cats deleted.

It can very car/car and altitude/track conditions, ect. I'm in 7000ft air. :(

I would say that's a heck of a difference with bolt ons and a tune! It's not 16.3 anymore (BEST of 4 runs that day too!)! :D Probably faster by this weekend too! If it doesn't rain Sunday, Sean and I will hit the track! Anyone here port their lower intake??? ;)
