4psi is too low.It will be upped and make alot more.Then we can pick up those 98 connecting rods off the floor

Well I saw someone running 12.30's with a 305 in a 3300 lb 3rd gen and at 109 mph! The fastest my car has been N/A is 11.90's at 119 mph which I have been told is plenty fast enough for low to mid 11's!
