Are the mods in your signiture the only ones you have? If so well done man!  Also how do you like the MAF optimizer? Did you have it dyno'ed and tuned?

Yes the mods listed are all that is done to the car. These runs were made with stock mass air, stock computer(no chip so shifting at 6950), K&N drop in filter bolted to the stock filter housing with cover removed, headers, off-road y, Borla cat back, drag radials(which are my daily drivers), and Quaife LSD. The car is running very lean and will likely run considerably better once I get the A/F ratio correct. I also am planning some intake mods and a custom burned chip so hopefully the times will just keep getting better.

On my last run I tried a little more RPM trying to get a 14.40 out of it and ended up spinning through first gear and only ran a 15.01@93.36 Great times, looks like the drag radials are a good investment. awesome 60' times + good dyno #'s are always a good combination

I also am planning some intake mods and a custom burned chip so hopefully the times will just keep getting better. That is almost exactly what I have. I don`t have the headers or the LSD. I need to get a chip burned for my car because I am running rich. I figure I will be in the mid 14`s hopefully by the beginning of the season.

Also how do you like the MAF optimizer? Did you have it dynoed and tuned? So far I haven't really been able to use the Pro-M or the optimizer. When I ordered the Pro-M I gave them all of my mods thinking the calibration would be right but the car was running very lean. I had them add 5% more fuel and it was still to lean. I decided to order the optimizer expecting to be able to make changes in fuel so it would run right. Instead it wouldn't run at all so the optimizer is back in Michigan and I am suppose to have a new one some time this week. The long and short of it is I don't like anything from Pro-Flow so far but I am sure when it works properly that will all change.

HRP is supposedly the fastest track in North America due to it being so close to sea level. That is my old stomping ground. They have probably already fixed it, but if you go about half track, and look on the left wall, you might see the mark left by an impellor from a Grand National. It was Connelly's fastest car at the time. We just pulled in when he did it. Very nice hole in the air filter and fiberglass fender Great number, BTW!

Great number, BTW!I thought Englishtown was the best track to run at?

Houston is good and has been the site of several National records in Pro Stock, Funny Car, and Top Fuel. It is really best this time of year or fall when you can catch relativly dry air that isn't so hot. Once summer gets here it is very hot and humid so there won't be any good times. I have always heard that the East coast tracks (Isn't that where Englishtown and Atco are)are known for excellent times due to good air (Cool and Dense).
