Chris
So speed holes in my hood aren't a good idea

I was cutting some mean 14.7 @ 101 passes You all should be afraid. but I can break all 4 loose on launch


Gotta get some money saved up so I can be able to repair whatever I break.

Do you have those metal spark plug boot shields that came stock with the car? If so you should have those on there, i have mine on and have not had one problem.

wish i had some candy right now...Those hot tamales were pretty spicy last night, but gave me a toothache...Right now i'm about to make myself a bacon cheeseburger and tater tots...

I also need a head bolt re-torque, and probably a rocker bolt checkup as well...

Have a vortech s-trim with about 6-7lbs of boost, 3.73 gears, vigilante 2800 stall, headers, high-flow cats, exhaust, trickflow heads to reduce compression (but didn't help at all with horsepower). I think the stall and the gears limit the mph a little, car shifts into 4th entering the trap, and kinda hangs for a split-second.

Nice...Funny though, how slow a 12 second car looks going down the track...It feels much different inside of it...

Ain't that the truth. They were running the 8.90 index dragsters, and man, I looked like a turtle.
