Atleast 7.9 but would die happy with a 7.6. We'll see on the 21st.

 

What a great car - priced right, fun to mod, and fun to drive!

 

Quick Update.

Car is at ST Motorsports as of today/yesterday morning (depending what coast your on). I'm hoping to have it back late tomorrow or early Saturday. I'll post some pics and vids once it's back.

 

Is there a problem with the car??

 

Nice!! I'm sure you're dying to drive it now.

BTW, I'm sick as a dog this week, so no Barona or Q for me today. But, I plan on seeing you out at the Q on 11/21. Bring your A game... I want to line up next to you.

 

Nope. Why would you think that?

Cool I'll see you then. Atleast now it won't be the *** kicking won't be as severe.

 

Just leave on the first amber... that will give you a 1-second head start. We should be door handle to door handle at the stripe!

 

Maybe he was reading too many of my back posts.

 

Ouch.

Don't bring your bad mojo in here Bill.

 

Sorry it took so long for me to update.

Got the car back from ST a couple weeks ago.

The dyno results. 428/375


Track Results. 7.7's consistently.

I'll post some pics of the engine later today.

 

So did you beat the GT500?

 

Yes twice. In all fairness though he was running on street tires.

 

I hope you have brakes to go along with that S/C! Your gonna need them. It's pretty dangerous to drive a S/C car without a complementing big brake kit.

 

Wow, thats awesome

 

I've been fine with my stock brakes but i'm manual a 430rwhp. I can definently see the need for some upgraded brakes with an auto..

 

Guess it all depends on how you drive..... I drive mine like I stole it so....... lol

 

If you have to stop from say 100mph, what difference does it make whether you are NA or blown? Or how quickly you get to 100mph?

Oh, and big brakes, mean big wheels, means crap for drag racing. I'll keep my stock brake size and my 15" wheels.

 

Don, while you are correct, here's a thought in support of Torrence's statement. My car has stock brakes. When the supercharger went on back in May, one of the first things I noticed was that all that extra power got me up to much higher speeds on the roads I've been driving for decades, and that the corners came up much faster than ever and the brakes were very lacking given the extra speed. It's been quite the learning curve for me guaging when to start braking for corners, and made me start pricing up some much better brakes.

 

Hey Leo those are perfect #'s man and a Win is a win no matter what advantage you had. Glad everything worked out for you.

 

Thanks everyone. Yeah bigger brakes would be nice but that would require getting rid of the new rims I just got.
