New Best.

Went to Gateway in STL. last Tues and managed to pull off a 14.4@94.7 All I have done to the car since the last time down was the addition of SLP shorties, removed the A.I.R. and replaced the cats with 2 90 degree 3" mandrels from Summit.

Last time down only netted a 14.8 with just a Flowmaster catback and a K&N.

Still alot left in the current modds. Intake temps where up on the 14.4 run and on a cooler motor my MPH was around 96-97 seemed to be the thresh hold of the 245 dunlops and the resulting 60' was only a 2.20 though. If I can get the car to hook on a cool motor I think she can lose another couple tenths. Always fun trying to learn a new car on the track.

Get some nittos and get that 60 down a little and you'll be in the very low 14's easy

Thanks guys.
Probably going to go down again this tues and hopefully be able to find some slicks to borrow. Looking forward to low 14's on as mild of mods as I have.

Still itching to procharge the car though. The more I think of it the more I want to build a forged bottom end and run more than 10#'s. But there I go thinking again, I really need to stop doing that. lol!
