Default Thank You To "SLOWHAWK PERFORMANCE"

I picked up my car today from "Slowhawk" and can't even being to explain how pleased I am with the power and drivability after having the H/C installed. I drove in there with a 2000 Z28 full bolt ons with a Yanks SS3600. I drove away with a "BEAST" . I told Don, I was looking to run around 11.5, he put together a budget H/C combo for me thats was worth every single dollar. The car put down 422/380 and drives perfect! Looking forward to hitting that 11.5 at New England Dragway very soon!

Thanks again
Bryan

Glad your happy Bryan. That is pretty much the same power curve that put my car down to 11.2 or 11.4 on a hot day. Your car runs more "stock" than my car did though.

Hey I think I saw you when I was headed back to ct? It was on the roundabout and saw your car for a split sec. My car was being tuned when you came in the shop. Good luck at the track and I may see you up there but think its suposed to rain.

congrats, great numbers! With my car pretty much full weight and on 17" nittos I ran those kind of times with a little less power (smaller cam and smaller converter) You should be 11.5's all day.

Don has a great recipe for streetable low cost H/C cars running low 11's all day. Do you have a FAST intake on it yet?
