With the mod's that you have right now. IMO-I think that you have run pretty good times. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Back in November 2001, I had on my Hot Rod(stock motor,cam/heads, mass air, mac's, Borla exhaust, B&M shifter, line lock, shift light, 4.10's in the stock 10 bolt, Madman TQ arm, with Weld Prostar's with front runners and 28x10.5x15 M/T slick) and ran 8.22 in the 1/8th. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

PS. It is really hot right now all over the USA. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

Edit post: I just checked my old log book. I ran low 8 teens back then. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Maybe tuning will help. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
