Thanks so much for sharing and GREAT job!

It's nice to know it doesn't take a professional driver to get our bone stock cars in to the low 15's.

Thanks guys. The bug has already hit. I am getting a bonus from my last job and I'm buying a CAI and Axle back. Hopefully I can get to 15 flat or 14.99

Great ET for first time out. What rpm did you launch at? 14's are in your future after some mods.

I was launching at around 2500. The 15.3 run i gave it hell and let it fly at 2700. She broke out of the breaks above 3k. Iceing the intake manny and throtle body got the low times. If I hadn't ran out of ice, it would have stayed in the 15.3's. Going back in two weeks to give it another shot!

EDIT: From what I was seeing online, most people are mid to high 15's with the sixers. Maybe I got a factory freak!

Few mods and you shouldn't have a problem getting under 15's next time
