I had the blower on for a week.. just got back from the track a few hours ago actually.. ran a handful of high 12s with no traction launches.. best of 12.7@107mph

Sweet dude. I hope I can crack into the 12's thats the key number for me right now. I had some dude in a new Camaro SS pickin on me a couple of weeks ago. He and I take the same road home every day, I hope I see him this week.

I'm sure you'll have to problem with the Camaro. 12's should be very possible, traction might be an issue though. Hold on to your 4.10's you might want them back in the future. I have them and I love them. You might not but you might change your mind when you want to go faster.

I have no desire to get rid of the 4.10's I just wanted the 3.55's back in plus I live about 18 miles highway to work so it's a easier on the hwy, not that it was ever hard I just like to keep her around 2000rmp when I'm cruisin.

12's will be np for you, hell, I'm all most there w/ bolt ons. A lot of guys @ ATCO with blown S197's are running 11's all day but there blowers are making 10-12PSI.

I figure I may get a dyno tune at 8psi or so but for right now this is enough for me and its still under warranty for the next 16 months. The only track around me that I know of is in Milton Florida and it's only 1/8 and I don't even want to do that, the SC won't even get to work.

Actually it's Holt, but close enough =)

They have a test and tune on Friday night (11th), we should drive out there and check it out. I really want to have an up close look at your car.

I ran into MR. SS Camaro today and was letting some hard revs off next to him like he did me a couple of weeks ago but the traffic was to tight to do anything. He looked over at me and gave me the "WTF now you wanna go" look. I'm dying to catch him in open traffic or better yet at a red light.

I have the same set up also.. The first drive was like damn this is fast, then i settled in very quick. I never street race or anything, and right now i feel like it would just be to slow to take to a track. But, friday when i get paid im going to order the vmp 500hp kit.. Im to far away to actually have it put on the dyno, but its pretty basic (500 at the crank and like 430 ish at the wheels). So once i get that all together il post a thread with pics and let everyone know how it goes.
