Stock 305

Well I bought a TA with a 305, no more 2.8 yay!

Anyway I was wondering what it will do in a 1/4, I'm thinking of taking it to english town next month.


What will it do stock? And what is the cheapest upgrade I could use to decrease the time?

By the way it has a 700r

put a wet kit on it with a 100 shot , it will cost you between 500-650 depending on what kit you buy. beleive me you will get more out of that than any runner upgrades or magical chips
