Thanks guys. Nice to be nominated with guys as OCD about there cars as I am. After this I won't feel as bad giving all my money away to Summit. Any of the cars nominated could have taken it this month.

It makes 467 hp 517 tq at the flywheel. Im planning on getting rear wheel numbers this spring being i finally have the tune where i want it. As far as the et goes i havent had the car to the 1/4 with this combo... hoping for mid to high 11's.

Thats some good HP numbers, I'd think you'd be in the 11's once you get it dialed in.

Re: March 2013 COTM **winner**
That is a beautiful car. I also have a 91TA. I have been looking for the same style induction. Can this be purchased any more. I cannot remember if this is called the Miniram and who made it. I have a 383 that I would like to use, but the standard TPI will not push enough air. DL
