Previous 1/8 mile was high 9.1 to low 9.2 range at 80.5-81mph. That's why I think the tire slowed me down because on run 2 because I hit 9.01 but only 80.8 Even with a tick or two slower 60' then last spring I was 2 tenths faster in the 1/8 mile at that point! I figure I have gained some power since spring with the custom intake pipe and better midrange tuning. My midrange is mean for a little 3L. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I will post pics as it's impressive to cleanly shear a piece of billet steel. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I think you need to hit the dyno and see what that magic motor of yours is putting to the ground.

Things are slow around here because I've been building a computer and reworking 2 others so everything is torn apart. Plus we are getting ready for company next week. The timing of this failure couldn't be any worse. Oh well it should be fixed by Thursday. (waiting on axle) 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
