RE: what should i do next?
the thrtottle body is always the bottleneck in the intake system, it's that way by design.
I would spend the money on some good quality engine gauges like oil pressure, engine temp, and volts. I use Autometer gauges and they are nice looking and very accurate and easy to install too.

i haven't taken my car to the dragstrip yet, but i want to. maybe i will over sprink break(week after next) i kinda scared of breaking something. i was wondering how you got your car in the twelves. i'd be happy with a twelve second car and thats what i am shooting for w/o spending money on h/c/i. i see that you have "bolt ons". could you post or pm me a list of your bolt ons? i think my suspensions is good enough to go racing with, and im squared away in the tire department too (nitto 555r dr). i have some bolt ons and gears, torque converter and some other stuff.
i was also wondering if you ran out of gear at the end of the track. i have 3.90 gears and in third gear i'm doing 4500-5000 rpm at 80 mph. if i get close to 100 mph at the end of the 1320 i will be overreving my engine. how did you do it? overdrive?
thanks.
