not bad times, get some 4.10's (if you stay NA), upper and lower control arms, and some drag radials and you will break into the 13's

not bad for the few mods you have. suggest you get subframe connectors and some new lower control arms like the HPM Megabyte Jr. or Southside Machine bars to help plant the rear end at the launch to improve that 60' time. also lower the air pressure in your rear tires to 22 or so psi and see if this doesn't help your times some too. some rear gears like 3.73's will also be a big improvement too!

does anyone have or has had this kit, any feedback would be good. How does it compare to the Trick Flow kit which is very similar?

don't know about the Trick Flow kit but I could swear I remember seeing the boys on Two Guys Garage do the Holley kit and dyno it for 400 HP but can't be positive about it. Maybe they'll replay it during the winter and I'll see it again.

Holley system max is a good kit, but I have heard the heads are not that good for a blower application, the upper intake is great for it.
