the best time i got since i got the 373s put in is 12.8

With the air lid, exhaust, and ported TB (and the 273s) plus a gallon and a half of 110 octane, and slicks, I ran a 13.20s all day long

long tubes, hp tune, x pipe and slp lid. what kind of tires you goin to run. usually the rule of thumb is 1lb per inch of rim. like from me i have 17s on my car so i run 17 psi.
