Bruce,
With the stock engine topped off with the Vortech I ran a best of 14.94 at
94 MPH. This was with a 60 foot time of 2.213. I believe that the
computer and the exhaust are the limiting factors. I am going to get the
exhaust work done in the next few weeks probably. Headers and 2 1/2 into 3
all the way back. Then I'll get to the track and test again. The track is
open until the second week in November here in Chicago. The coll air
should also help the Vortech breath better. I'm hoping for some low 14
second runs. (Under 14.5).
Dan
