127mph + N/A
'60......1.795
330.....4.870
1/8.....7.383
MPH....99.81
1000...9.515
1/4.....11.294
MPH....127.25

Still a lot left in her - hit the rev limiter in 1st, shifting soft the rest of the way as the RAM adjustable master is not up to the task (tick here I come).
Hopefully kooks and a mufflex + shift light + tick master + diet for car = 130mph
Need to get an aftermarket rear before install the LPE launch controller and nitrous

It can be done, I ran 10.29 @ 129 with my old 408 N/A and that motor was originally built for nitrous. You get that 60' down and a good clean pass and you'll be well in the
10's for sure.
10's for sure.

Thanks guys. I currently have a single cutout on the magnaflow. I'm thinking it's the pacesetters that are really holding me back. On the dyno, I only picked up 5 rwhp from 5700-6400 (with the cutout open).
I'm thinking 1 7/8" stepped to 2" Kooks, with 3.5" collectors, y pipe into single 4" through a bullet muffler dumped at the axel? The tunnel mount TA limits a descent true dual setup

FWIW, when I had the 408 I went from 1 3/4" headers to 1 7/8" and gained absolutely Zero on the dyno and the track. That was N/A though, with nitrous I'm sure it will help.

I'd leave the headers alone until you have at least 20-25 more passes on the combo. I doubt bigger headers would be worth more than than a tenth on motor. On the hose they might help but again I'm not sure it will be dramatic.

Not sure what the car weighs, i've put it on a bit of a diet so far - BMR k member/a-arms, weld skinnies op front, weld 15x10 w/ et streets in the rear, !a/c, !ABS, !cruise, and a lot of other basic stuff.
My goal is to keep the interior looking stock in terms of weight, but I can still manage to shed some lbs with rear drag brakes, bumper supports, etc.
MPH is good, would have been better if I had my shift light hooked or the factory tach was worth a damn, hitting the rev limiter in 1st, then short shifting the other 2 shifts def didnt help.
I may try to get more runs in before swapping headers, but I do think these Pacesetters are holding me back. Dyno showed only a 5hp gain from 5700-6400, which tells me the weak point is either in the exhaust or possibly intake.
