i also have not heard many good things about the EWP. atleast not for the money you spend.

Aren't you the one saying stronger rod bolts should be allowed for the stock bottom end list? For what it's worth, last winter I added a Mezzier H2O pump and an unported FAST 90/90 combo and picked up 23 rwhp on the same dyno. I'm guessing the H2O pump had something to do with that. So $1700/23rwhp = $73.91/hp. Pretty expensive but headers are about $60/hp. If you're crunched for money then I guess it's not a very good mod.

More like $1100 for 90/90 = 20 hp and $600 EWP = 3 hp
Just not worth it IMHO until you have bought EVERYTHING else.

Congrats again Larry. Always nice to have somebody to motivate me to go faster 
The MPH makes me a little jealous. Now we need some cages to legally race

I have a T-Rex, but the same principal here. These big cams don't seam to make power as high as you would think. Next season I am trying 6500. It peaks at 6300. I am switching to 4.11s and 26" tires though. The 4.56s are just too much. I drive with 26" tall tires on the street most of the time anyhow.
Yes, everyone Im racing should buy an EWP

rocker arms will add power...
so i'd say that makes them an unfair advantage if one is claiming "cam-only" ... does that not make sense?
or do we need to make another poll, or maybe even another list altogether.

but we're talking about "cam-only."
there was never a "rule" against using aftermarket rod bolts for the cam-only guys.
to what matters in THIS thread is that the guy is claiming cam-only and saying he's getting rocker arms soon. i was just saying he couldn't still claim cam-only after adding rocker arms.

What kind of power does the car put down? Mine only makes 410 thru the stock catback like I raced it, so Im sure yours is very capable of running very close if not at the 11.2-11.3 mark. HumpinSS car trapped 119 for the last year or two until he put it together on some good air and work on getting the car to leave, so you on the same pace

Wow! 3 years without racing?! I could not do that. Nice work then. Sure is more there then.

Dumb stuff like http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...asdrag2006.flv

Tell me about working the back half, my 11.33 was 93.3 in the eigth and 122.7 in the quarter, even with a 1.50 60 ft. Rusty shifting! Larry sounds like you were driving it full out last times out, still want to compare the ghey shifting logs? I think your doign a much better job on that than me

Congrats! Doesn't look like the air was extremely exceptional either from the temps on the slips. Little weight reduction, some cold air and 10s are yours!
