I installed:
a "Dragon" Plenum--performance mod
Aluminum D.S.---
Steeda LCA's---
Tokico 5-ways and lowered my ET. .231 seconds (average for 3 runs) and picked up 2 MPH (average of 3 runs)

I am still producing 2.0xx 60 ft. times, so I don't think the LCA's helped my ET. They are just making my 60 ft. times more consistent!

Before this install my ET./MPH (average of 4 runs) was 14.084@98 mph
Now it is 13.853@100.2 the "Dragon" Plenum Rocks!!!!

Wicked nice job...you're pretty much convinced me to get the Dragon...

Do you have a 70 or 75 MM throttle?

the reason i ask is because if i compare my previous best of 12.71@105.53 to my new best of 12.45@108.03 i could claim that the plenum/t.b. combo i just installed(only change to the car) gave me gains of almost 3/10 and 2.5mph but when comparing the runs (BOTH) corrected to factor DA i really only gained 1/10 and 1mph. are you comparing both runs with corrected times?

Do you know what happened to the yellow Mustang that was pushed off the staging lanes? I thought I saw him running mid/high 12's a couple passes before that.

I don't know what the corrected "before" times were.

Before my average times/MPH were 14.084@98 mph (4 runs)
-----------------------------After 13.853@100.2 mph (3 runs-13.850, 13.857 and 13.854)

60 ft times are a consistant 2.0xx. Even though I have Drag Radials I may never get a sub 2.0xx because of my suspension, it isn't the best for Drag Racing(i.e. 18"wheels, FR "C" Spring, etc.)
