That's why HP numbers don't mean anything.

Runs consistent mid 12's. No lie. Any of the RPM guys can tell you.

I think with a little more driving and a few odds and ends that number will change

You coming to the track tonight?

Went to Cecil the next Friday and first was worthless again. Did a little charity cruise last Sunday and had a good time leaving the place.






Ordering a few suspension parts to help out, but probably won't be back down in Richmond with the car for a while. My time here is up at the end of the month.

It's currently between UPR, Wolfe, TeamZ and Baseline. I want to retain tailpipes so I may have to go with a CompE anti-roll bar. Wolfe seems to be the high end, to UPR's least expensive. TeamZ and Baseline are a slightly different approach, but seem to have good results.

The hardest part is trying to find another 3700lb, six speed, solid rear, twin screw car to base it off of. Everyone goes to a 15" Bias ply, an automatic, or just deals with 1.8 60's.

Soon enough.

Have you tried the Modular Fords? I know there some turbo guys on there with 03-04's and some KB guys.
