Default getting their

if u guyes rember the last time i went to the track when i ran that 9.5 at 73 mph in the 1/8. when i was stock. sombody told me that was good for a stock convert. the most recent time was this past thirsday and i ran a 9.232 at 77.6mph and a 2.06 60ft. do u guys think that is a big improvement with my current mods. i have the gt40 heads. advanced the timing to 17* and i had my right side head light taken out. i still have no headers but i do have the uper and lower intake ported. some good feed back will be greatly apricated

the only bad thing is that i lost to a stock gutted fox body and a gutted 87 crx on the gas. the crx ran a 9.1 when he bet me an the fox body ran a 8.89. but i beat that crx the second tome i raced him. i think his bottle ran out. it was all fun though. my next mods will be headers, 3.73's. i want to see if i can get in the low to mid 8's before i get on the gas.

Nice improvement man You've dropped almost 2 seconds in the 1/8th since you started. I think that's pretty damn good[8D]

Finally someone who says they are going to mod their car and go faster and actually does it.

Impressive! An 8.59 on motor with what you have done is amazing! Nice job!
