Default Must go faster

Well the new setup went 11.014 at 128. Nice and drivable too.
But as usual I want mid 10's and driveability so Mr. Slowhawk has it and will work his magic.

128mph through an auto, you should be in the 10's with that
Just work on that 60'

For how drivable the car is I'd be happy, I probably would have went with a little bigger cam right from the getgo, maybe even a slighlty bigger converter.

But you can't complain about those numbers in a mild street car. Whatever it is your doing next its something I'd like to eventually do. Mid 10's, NA, fairly streetable, thats my ultimate goal.

We went with a very mild cam for drivability.I think the car had easy 10's in it.
Also,Brent found a bad plug wire recently.Could of been dropping 1 cyl. at WOT for awhile now.

The converter is the same I hit 1.46 60's with.

With a converter gears are less of a gain.
