Yeah I saw your name on the ET data list, I'm still on the stock manifolds, cats and y pipe with 2.73 gears. I love the converter but you will NOT hook with those street tires. Don't be surprised if you actually run slower with the street tires because they will just go up in smoke. I'm going back this saturday to try to cut a 1.7 60' and maybe get a 12.3-12.4.
