That's looks about right considering your rims and tires. You'd be in the 11's with drag radials.

Thats a whole lotta power to get those kind of times 2.2-60, 8.4-1/8 then to finish 12.4 at 119. That kinda trap usually has a low to mid11 to go with it. Aset of sticky tirescould drop that more than a halfa second. Since your in Detroit so often you should try to make one of our dragstrip meets I would like to see what it does at the strip.

It's easy peasy to install, just plug it into the OBC2 port by your left leg. The cable comes out of the plug at 90 degrees and tucks away without being a nuisance. I ran the cable up the A pillar and around the edge of the dash top. You can see it sitting in the corner to the left of the wheel in this pic....

The Inlet temp, A/F & fuel pressure are all on the MSD and I can assign alarms levels on all of them.
I don't even want a boost gauge, it's set to run at 11psi andI don't know of anything [not already obvious] that would cause that to drop and besides, it's hardly a health monitoring point, more a "Look at me, I have Boost" LOL
Can you tell I'm not a gauge man?

I have been doinga lot of research on "gauges" - did you see the thread on bare minimum gauges if you are running a S/C? For me, I like minimal as well....now you have me thinking...this isa good way to get useful info.....

On an unrelated note, what are you running in place of your "Shaker" system in the dash?

I would be interested to see how it compares when run on a track, just to see how closely it tracks to actual times/speeds.
