| it sounds like you have too much time on your hands... yesterday this car went 8.0@152 in the 1/4 I lifted some where close to 900 feet 6.67sec in the run I lifted - we had 20+mph cross winds yesterday for the GMHTP deal and with it being up forsale I didn't want to push it really hard - so I turned the boost down, shifted it at 7100rpm and took some timing out and it still ran 5.10 to the 1/8th... I truely think this car has a high 7.50ish number in it. yea I have a new project sort of =) thanks Winsett |
