your car would suck off the line, if you plan on doing that go ahead and buy a moped it would be faster off the line.

i got likw the exact same mods as u pretty much, and i have to say i was trying to find a cam that i could do without a converter, but, it just seems like this isnt the right thing to do, so im going with a smaller then MS4 cam, and hopfully taking advantage of YANK's new summer special. Im sure with a big cam, a high 3X00 converter, maybe 373's, with ur full exaust and a very good tune ull be in the high 11's
