    What intro's did you get? Have any pics yet with the wheels on. Thats my plan, sell the 18's and order the 20-22 combo. I'm lookin at the Intro Twisted Vista's or the Bonspeed Crokus.

    no new track times yet. when i was on the juice in albama, i was running 8.3-8.4 in the 1/8th
    Low 8&#39;s should be in the very high 12 sec range to low 13 area. A 7.5 is a low 12 sec run.

    Allen you&#39;ll need that stall to keep up&#33; Where&#39;s it at anyway? [/b]
    A little faster then that. We ran 12.9 and the 1/8th was 8.6.. so i&#39;m sure its more of a mid 12 pass. Not bad at all.

    i wish it would do that but i don&#39;t think that little 4800 has the cube&#39;s for it. thats why im building a 5.7. there&#39;s no replacement for displacement

    True but I honestly don&#39;t care about 1/4mi times...the 1/8th is more realistic to what you&#39;d do on the street. 0-90mph or so is as fast as I&#39;d go on the street. Usually from a 15-70mph roll is what usually happens.

    When I have a vehicle that runs 7.99 or faster (ideally 7.49, I wanna get booted off a track) in the 1/8th on street tires then I know I am fast enough.

    But running a 7.99 or faster on street tires it&#39;d be hard for anything to get you from a dead stop on the street...it&#39;d need something with some serious power to make a comeback that great.

    true about that. not many times do you get a 1/4 run on the street

    Maybe I&#39;ll be there after the stall install, i&#39;m hoping to drop a couple of tenths, i don&#39;t want to set my expectations too high, that way i&#39;ll be satisfied or surprised, lol

    i run an average of 8.6 in the 1/8, so that sounds about right, you should be good for a 13.0 or better

    later,
