skinnies might put you at that 10.5 by them self. ive seen them alone drop a tenth on a 11 sec car and that was the sportsmen, not even light ones!! its nice to have a 10.3-10.4 car in the 10.5 class.

I'm already there. It ran 10.6 at 121mph letting off,then a 10.58 at 112mph,then another 10.60. I ran it out the back door later in the crap weather and hit 10.4. This was with the same cone filter clamped to the TB heat soaking to death. I'n the morning I bet it would of hit a 10.2.

Either way,a few parts are in the mail.

It was pretty consistant at 1.46 to 1.48 . The converter is tight at a Yank SS3600.I wanted a better drivability this year and it's alot tighter than my old SS4000.

With the right matched converter and some real tires/wheels I'd bet anything you would break under a 10.00 in the same air, no sweat. That says a lot for a relatively tame street setup and 3600lbs.

I know you want drivability but there s a lot on the plate running a SS3600. If you can tolerate something like Yanks PT4400 it will be a monster especially on the big end. Might be worth checking out Circle D's 5C series. I hear they are tight on the street but they make good numbers at the track. I mean these are all lockup converters, how much more streetable do you need it?

I'm curious too see how the Fast intake compares.

LOL I wouldn't in a 4l60e, I think rossler makes one, but I wouldn't do it. If he gets the right converter and looses the 17's he will be footbraking high 1.3's

Love it though, put that tranny through hell Don and make me go buy one...

Looking awsome man. I think the hood isnt bad considering the car can back it up. What kind of skinnies would you be doing? Welds, Billet specialties,Bogarts?

Nice pic!

Any car you can drive all week, then to the track on Saturday, lift the wheels and run 10s, is a badass car in my book...
