Great job OP!!

Good job OP
Agree the truck intakes work ok, I ran mid 9's in my street driven 4,000+lb car with one. But do you think 40+whp is worth $500? I'm about to go from a truck intake to an Edelbrock Pro-Flo partly to clean things up from the awful looking truck intake and partly because I've seen people gain 50+whp with boost and the hi ram intakes. I will log the differences to see if the change is worth it.

well the 4.8 lasted another year of 8's. Had my share of issues getting the car sorted out but ended up getting a best 60' and running a handful of 8's.

Man.. so freakin' impressive. I'm about 7 miles from Lebanon Valley. I didn't get to go this year, due to waiting for my combo to be completed. I missed this season but I'll be there this spring. Hope to see your car there!

Made a couple small changes over the winter. Added dbl adjustables in the rear, Leash boost/pulse box, cleaned up the trunk, and got the cage cert'd.

First track visit of the year and did decent. Only made two real passes.
Went 1.29/8.75/158 and 1.27/8.8/152. Need to get the 60' back down. Its been 1.23 with the strange singles last year.
