I've been working on my 01 since I got it new in april of 01, started with mild mods like CAI, U/D pullies and gears. With 4.10's and DR's it went 12.8 @ 105, then I had the motor internals upgraded to forged pistons and rods, had the 4v heads ported and added a P1SC. With these mods and the crappy stock rearend my best time was 12.0 at 120. Last year I swapped out the IRS for a solid 8.8 with 3.73's, upgraded the blower to a D1SC and added a set of cams. With these mods and supporting fuel it put down 664rwhp. This spring I took it to US41 in northern Indiana and with Slicks and skinnies my best time was 10.35 at 138. This winter I plan on getting rid of the stock 5-speed and replacing it with a C4 w/transbrake, I'm hoping that will cut down on the ET's.

May I have a title change?
Here is the best run of the day.

 

Very nice.I think you will like the automatic at the track but not daily street driven. I had a mustang and did a turbo 400 manual valve body and loved it at the track. Now i got a t/a with turbo 400, i picked up good time in both swaps. Keep on haulin *** and good luck.
