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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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..

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.

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