No he had the MP PCM,headers,cold stat.,slicks to run the mid 14s. Stock it
ran 15.2s or so.

Yeah its not 100% accurate, but atleast it gives an idea anyway.Problem is
,nearest dyno is 4 hours away, and even then not sure if it has a wideband
O2 or not.

Ok, I'll have him try that.Anyone ever try modifing a crank sensor to
