Default New best with the Ebay kit!

Best of 10.92 at 123, 1.73 60ft. and backed it up with 10.95 at 126 1.81 60ft.
I was excited when I got my slip becouse the first 2 runs where 11.17 and 11.18. Oh and still on the stock 10 bolt with a 2.73 gear and 28 inch tire!!

The only problems I had was some fittment issues with the wastegate. I ended up cutting the tube off that feeds it back into the down pipe. So it just goes to the atmosphere. Some people have had issues with the driver side header not bolting up, but easily fixed with makeing the first hole bigger. Definitely takes more than just buying it and slapping it on, But still very much worth it.

Don't forget solid mounts and making your own power steering line.

Nice times! What were your 1/8th? I don't have a 1/4 close so I have to compare 1/8th mile times. Are you running a 2 step or trans brake? I've got to get my th400 in
