I don't see how it's so unbelievable. The car ran a 12.6 with a 1.9 60ft before the stall. Now it's cutting a 1.6 off the line. That's a drop of three 10ths in the first 60ft of the run, not to mention what's gained by the car staying in it's power band during shifts. It all adds up. The car is no factory freak; just look at the dyno.

I've personally watched this car go from bone stock to the point it is now and I know it well. It's a minimalist combination that works incredibly well together. There's nothing other than what the fellow tells you. I mean, why would he lie? This isn't the ricer forums.


I just put in a **** load of overtime and Yank will be getting a call from me next month. I'm going to try and do damn near the same, but with a '98, just to reiterate the point.

Anyways, I just want to get all the facts to use as reference.
Hey PerfectZ28, I found this link for you.... I'm guessing all of these guys are in TN as well, you know, to be running so good on a stock motor?

Bigger stall, less weight, and maybe a little suspension work and you're on the list.

whats up jetlag?

This is aaron--the guy that bought the cam from you a while back!!

Hey man nice times and trap. Those times are 100% believable there are literally thousands of bolt on cars running around the exact same times and trap with similar mods. Unless your at 5k+ da your bolt on auto with a big stall will run that all day long.
