I'm using the Holley low imp 120's now and they work great. You can get them for about $450 from the major outlets. If you are using a stock PCM, then you'll need a driver box but you can pick them up for $200 used. Whatever you do, don't buy the POS Bosch low imp 160's. Those things idle SUPER FAT.

Wait until you drop another tenth off your 60ft times, which is quite feasible with your automatic. Bob
