Yanks are pretty efficient. I went from stock to a PT4000 and gained 1 mph in the 1/8 and 3 mph in the 1/4. Weather was slightly better, but I had heavier wheels also.

I seriously doubt you'll lose any and I would be surprised if you didn't gain.

+1 to that. even if you don't gain mph, your ET will most likely be lower. "if you yank it, you'll get off faster"

So with the FTRA you would definitely have picked up a little MPH. That's why I haven't put my tranny cooler on yet, just no room. How are you leaving?

Good to hear. I'm getting ready to put one on here soon and I was really curious how it drives around town

I'm curious to know how this stall handles on roll racing?? Does it take away from your power?

And I don't really drive this car much, so as long as I have in on before summer I don't think I'll have any heating problems from not having it.

I'll probably have the bumper cover off for modifying my ram air and I'll just cut and modify whatever it takes to get it to work then.

From a light roll, you're just gonna spin. So it doesn't help there.

From a highway roll, it doesn't seem it hit as hard initially as it did with the stock stall. The stall has a cushioning effect of the downshift, but from the MPH increase that I got, I would say that it would have to pull harder on the top end.

That might not be the case with other stalls that are known to hurt MPH.

I picked up from a highway roll cause the shift extension never lets it see less than 4800 which is exactly my peak torque. 1st gear is useless though cause it will break loose on any roll in throttle or downshift. Even on my M/T DR's

I picked up on a highway roll also. And first gear is useless no matter what even on DR's.
