you think you would get better traction with a set of 315's or do you see no worth it getting a set of 17X11's?

nice run. Shot straight and hard down the lane.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.


Vince- It was at 22psi, and dynoes at 850rwhp at that level. On the dyno IAT's hit 130. At the track IAT's are 175 through the traps, so actual HP through the traps is less than 850.

Slow Z28- Yeah, I'm glad he saved it. I thought about lifting and didn't make up my mind until after I was through the traps.

Jugger and stevieturbo- Thanks, and the trans does have the G-force internals, but I am happy with it's ability to take powershifts at this level without even crunching the gears.

I'm using two smaller intercoolers located in front of each tire. (you can see them if you click on the link in my signature).

I'm building a new engine and turbo system for the car this winter and upgrading the intercooling is one of the things I plan to do.
