I pulled the belt off at the track and gained a whooping .005 between the two runs. Then again I would prolly gain more if I had a decent battery under the hood.

good battery = Huge diff

When I tried 4 passes in a row (when stockish) it looked like this.....
13.03 @ 104
13.04 @ 103.5
15.80 @ 90 then driving back to the trailer on the return road it died on me and needed a jump lol... when the battery gets low or sucks to begin with... The injectors are WAAAY slower to open and the spark is alot weaker
