He and I went at it 3 times, both the first 2 times, I was behind him, and couldn't get up on it right off the line, but hit it hard about the same time he did, and he left me. He and I chit-chatted at the next light (both behind other cars).. and we did a rolling start about 15 to 45, and I was able to stick with him there, but looked to me like he really pulls hard in the high RPM's.
Think my biggest gain was from not going through the water at the staging :-) Was able to hook a lot better, giving me a much better 60' time, a full .10 sec gain or more in the 60' then what I've run before. But I actually ran a 15.77 the first run which was almost no improvement over what I was running before the Intake/Headers/Rockers (15.80 before). Reset the PCM, ran again, and ran a 15.65. Disconnected the Hypertech for the next run, reset PCM, and ran a 16.1. So, I'm not even sure that the intake/headers really helped, which is why I'm thinking I need to get a compression check done. Hmmm... Maybe time for a HEMI-project?? ;-) pssshh, like I have that much $$$ :)
