If I were to put a blower on my 06 GTO it would take the Terminator no problem.

When my buddy bought his, I thought it was just going to be another slow 4.6, but i only out ran him buy like 1 car in my vette, and both of us had simular mods. He ran a 8.4 in the 1/8 with street tires and my best was a 8.3, but in the 1/4 i ran a 13.2 and he ran a 13.7. But he knows how to drive and can cut 1.8 60's on street tires.

I am curious though..do you know his shift points? 13.7 with a Sub 2.0 60' doesn't seem right.

It works, but he had to replace the clutch with a spec 2

That don't sound right.........my 2v stock with dr's was going 13.8. a mach 1 should be in the low 13 range even with street tires. I guess driver mod is key. I had 2 years seat time with my 2v before I modded.

If he is stock, He should be easy. I raced a Lightning and once i got to 2nd gear, I started pulling him pretty good. I beat it in my LT1 so it can't be to hard to beat.
