The intake will add 2-3 more MPH and shave .4-.5th's in the 1/4 mile.

The trans will go when it decides too.

Both runs were 35 to 100 in about 12 seconds. It would be nice to see how acceleration is from 0 to 100mph. Then from 100 to 120mph.

Well i will see whay I can do. 0 to 100 Mph will be worthless it will smoke them tires , I would have to use my MTs for that. Here is one I did a couple of days ago with the retune.
