Pablo has the fastest car physically. Dewey, Chuck and a few others should be running similar times pending funds and some down time permit wrenching, tuning and track time. My car is in peices now so I am out.

there are others who are doing pretty well. Jon Prevost was solidly in th 13's IIRC, if you look at the TPI regestry, there are plenty of good times, I'm only #25 right now.

Why do you care about TBI, you've got a super-ram.
Theres lots of guys that have built tbi motors, that would make 400hp with a nice big carb on top.

I ran a 13.4 @ 106mph on a generic(ballpark range) chip. Then I swapped out the performer intake for an rpm airgap and a new chip. My first run with the combo yielded a shattered clutch, but on the up side I was .4 sec ahead of an LS1 z-28 at the 330' mark. He went on to run a 13.6.
I consistently beat my buddy's 12.7 sec mustang, and would guess I was at 400hp. Unfortuantly, the engine blew and I never had a chance to run at the track after I swapped clutches.
TBI is not hard to work with or make fast, especially if I could do it. You do not need to replace the 2bbl tbi with a big 4bbl carb either. With tbi, proper plenum is very important and is the key to delivering air to the engine, though the effects are different then with a carb to a point. My single largest gain was swapping out the performer intake with a 1/2" closed adapter plate to the rpm airgap with 1" open adapter plate. However, fuel delivery can become a problem, not so much due to lack of, but more so atomization.
