For me I'd chose AI over LE because of the shotty workmanship I've seen from LE over the years.

I tend to disagree. I believe yours to be set up much more optimally for the track with the right gearing, weight reduction, drag wheels, etc...
I do agree you are one of the more noteworthy setups for sure, but IMO I think you fall short of SD's power level and potential.
Just an observation. Not to be taken personal.

I've said in the past with these threads... just replace the terms "power, dyno" and "cam" with "pecker" and it would be an interesting read.

So basically people should ask: (example below lol)

-What heads/pecker setup are you running?

speed_demon24- I'm running AI 200cc heads and a custom pecker setup

LMAO!!!!!!

Can't go wrong with AI. Lots of proven combo's out there by them, plus they are just great folks to deal with.

Thanks, but how would you figure it is short on power?
It dynod 413.66 with my S60 that took away 15rwhp/15rwtq, and I was running a B&B with a single cut out, on 17" stock rims and heavy F1s on the car. Add that back and Id say Im more around 440ish

As for the track pass Minimal weight loss was done to mine, he has the same gearing in a more efficient ten bolt that weighs less? Only thing I had on him is the skinnies
I also beleive my car is capable of a much better pass, then it did but I cant catch a break lately

Do you think I dyno'd on skinnies?

You don't think your ported intake, electric waterpump, drag oriented suspension, mickey thompsons, 15" wheels with skinnies, 2" smaller brakes, and 4.10's compared to my 3.73's more than make up for the dana 60? I ran 17x9 and 17x11 wheels at the track, hell everything on the car was the exact same as I daily drive it every day 365 days a year.

Where did you come up with drag suspension?
I have more of a road race suspension than anything with the sway bar removed, STB, SFC, NON ADJ TA, PHB, LCAs on a stock WS6 everything else, just because a switched tires doesnt mean I have a drag suspension. I dont even have LCA relocation brackets.
Ewp is good for maybe 5-10HP max, S60 is -15+ RWHP/TQ and weighs 75lbs more and is way less efficient than a 10 bolt. I also ran on the stock clutch Oh and I only 60 ft .050 better then on my 17 inch rims, so the rear tires didnt even help me yet.

On the dyno you had the 10bolt and TDs, I had the ported intake and EWP. I had the 17s on the car

So all in all I think it =s out very close. I could drive my car everyday also, but Im lucky enough that I dont have 2!

I am sure they did. Read up on rotational mass.
