Like you and I were talking, if you have ran a 13.1 already with shitty tires, and if you drive it like you did the other day Im willing to bet 12.3 as super low and 12.6 as your high with a 112-114 trap. Its going to depend on your launch and how much you can avoid spinning. Your torque curve is so flat your going to have massive amounts at most rpms. Im curious to see what others are going to say.

That kind of off idle torque would be a Beotch to hook up.

I dont think you are going to get the power he did with just a cam compaired to the heads. Your going to see some huge gains put the torque is where he won. Cam only is where Im looking to go right now, in May Ill have my headers and intake. Ill tell you how it turns out if i cam it.

Isnt it funny how we really dont have alot to play with up here. For an area that has 200,000 people in a 15 mile radius, you would think there would be more, the people up here who has the cars that are freakin crazy dont take them out or they dont cruise around. All we get are 18 year olds with **** wagons that are posers. I think we have to start hunting chris.

If anyone doesnt know much about Erie, its a town that is car crazy, cars you couldnt imagine. Exotics to old school muscle valued in 6 digits, but what Erie doesnt have are cars that are road racers and street enthusists like we are on tech, we dont have the areas where road racing is available, but there is so much potentail. Its a small big town and what has happened are ricers and morons have ruined it by being dumb on roads where there is alot of traffic, now the cops are everywhere. back in the day the cops didnt care cause people were smart.

That should be relatively easy.. I was thinking closer to 12.0 if it's as light as you say.
