OF COURSE. The Mach 1 MUST have a blower to put on that many lengths...

Who knows? Maybe the T/A spun and spun while the Mach took off when he said he got traction in second gear.

i dont think you all understand. it was not a rape job at all. i dont know if you call 2 or 3 cars rape, but i dont. just the short throw and exhaust though.

2 or 3 cars is NOT several cars behind....

lets not get in an argument over the meaning of several, it just means a plurality in my book, maybe different in yours. changed several to 2 or 3 cars in first post to avoid further confusion

+1. LS1's really shine on the top end; this seems a little weird.

although tommy, what do they trap stock? like 106-107? i beat one (auto, bone stock obviously) when i was stock....but i was like half a length ahead at 105.......weird.
