Whenever they finish 'processing' time them, they're between 5.5 and 5.7. The only way to get a good time is video it and time it yourself. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I feel that that my rockers and springs made a big difference before I was hitting 5.6's and now I'm 5.2's

Daskhawk times FTL. My Superchips 1/4 mile runs I did at the track were suprisingly close, but I don't take any time into consideration unless it's on a timeslip.

we will see on the tune. I know you have a lot done to your car. But even with all the mods i did to my car everytime i tuned it i only gained like 6 hp from the tune. It seems these cars dont tune well.
Though this round of updates i am hoping to pick a lot more up on my tune given all the drastic changes i am making.

i must of phrased wrong i don't mean that the tune alone will be huge, just the attention to detail on the mods and tune that overkill performance will be helping me to gain the most with what i got.
plus drag slicks on custom 16 or 15" rims made to fit our brakes and a built trans isn't going to hurt.
