Re: new best

What was your 1/8 time and mph? If your street driven that's pretty good, but you still have alot left on the table.

Re: new best

That's pretty good, but your mph suggests that you can run in the 6.7's if you could dead hook the car. I imagine that you are spinning the tires even with a 1.56 60ft being that your running a boosted stroker, and if you did hook up hard you may find that you start breaking driveline parts. Good Luck!!

Re: new best

Congrats...curious why your 1/4 MPH seems slow for the 1/8 you get. Does it trans slip? Running out of fuel?

I would be expecting 125 mph at least.

Re: new best

I too think that your mph should be a bit higher...especially considering what you're getting at the 1/8th. What size tire are you running with those 3.73s? You must be pretty close to redline going through the traps. I'm usually around 5900 at 113 mph.

The car is still pretty quick though and I believe you do have the makings of a solid 10 second car. Good luck.

Re: new best

I'm glad you started this post, I have a p600b that has been sitting in a box for the past 6 years. I've been contemplating reinstalling it but had no idea what it would run with my heads/cam package. I may not be as fast as your car but should be in the vecinity.
