Despite spinning completely through 1st and part of 2nd gear, I accomplished a new best time. Tires were Nitto 555's at about 23psi. Here are the stats:

60' - 2.107
1/8 mi et - 9.186
1/8 mi mph - 76.85
1/4 mi et - 14.229
1/4 mi mph - 98.05

Not too shabby given the crappy traction. I spun worse through 1st this trip than any other trip to the track. I blame that on my newfound power. Not that I am complaining..... Next up are some 275/40/17 Nitto DR's.

How is your new PI intake working out . Can you really feel that extra power.

Good times BTW

"Bout time

It is about time someone figured out that the biggest restriction was not the heads themselves but the intake. Keep up the good work.

The intake is doin great. No leaks, nothing wrong at all. I love the power gains on the top end. With drag radials I think 13.8's are possible. We'll see what happens.

Shouldn't have been spinning too bad with a 2.1 60 ft. Well...are those Nitto's drag radials, or just street tires? If they were street tires, the 60 ft won't get much better. Maybe 2.0 or 1.9 if perfect. If they are drag radials, then yeah...could be much better. You should be able to run 13.8 or 13.9 with a 2.0 60 ft and powershifting. Nice job.

How about bottom end torque?

I notice the dyno #s only went down to to 4k. What about at lower rpm's? I have an Automatic and we need torque as well off the bottom. Did this swap work there too? It sounds like it if you spun all the way through 1st and 2nd.

Man I need to do this mod. We're pretty much the same on mods, so I think I could sneak a 13.8 out of it. What were your previous best times?
