Im not 100% sure. Ill be going to the track this summer running it but I have never ran the 1/4 at teh track before so it will be a learning experiance.

Im shooting for low 14s and hopefully can dip in the 13s as it is now with some weight reduction. Im also goint to run a small dry shot at the track and with that hopefully low 13s high 12s. This is all mearly speculation though I could be running 16s all day :taun:

Interesting seeing you on here. Do you still have all those nice drawings on your car.

And you probably dont know who I am because I never have my car at the meets, but I went with chris last time.

No, I don't have the drawings, and they certainly were not nice. :P
Come introduce yourself next time, silly!

I typically don't post here cause its slow loading on my sidekick, but Lee told me to check out his build-up thread, so here I am!

you might want to do something about that intake, when i had my vr6 i did the same thing, just hook up a k&n cone filter to the MAF housing. at first it was great but then in the summer with all of that heat it caused my MAF to go out really fast and there is a little oneway valve that goes from the intake by the throttle body to the valve cover or crank case, and my the intkae just hanging there it cause it to tear which was not good at all, and it is expensive to replace if you cant fidn it used which it is hard to find it used... just my:2cents:

Yea I plan on it, the filter is APC of all brands. It was just the only cone filter the right size diameter that they carried at the NAPA next to the shop and I didnt think about grabbing a better one before I got there.

I need to get one that has the bracket to hold the intake in place

Jenn glad to see ya finnally made it to this side of the world wide web to see my pics. Thanks for the nice words but I know what you really think of the car. Hell you are one of the lucky few who have had the chance to ride in the beast.

Lee :cheers:
