Just give us the straight scoop of what has been applied.
This is why I like Matt's demo program on his truck. You know what applied
on every event and watch the outcome. If anything, I more impressed with
that 4.7 Regular cab and getting to 14.23 on just a K&N and DOT Hosiers. I
can see a low 12 or 11 second truck with only 125lb NOS shot.

Hmm, ya know this guy goes to Byron Dragway according to his webpage. Wonder
if we could get him to show for the R/T VS. SVT Meet then some DMLers could
examine it?

It'd be cool to watch a lil Neon smoke every Cobra and Lightning there. :)
