thanks for the kind words, i guess one could assume that, but that would be assuming the power mods were worth nothing. What kind of times are you running?

Yes I'm especially interested in seeing how much these mods especially the airbox gives you. Seems like you had a strong running 55 in the first place.

12.7@111mph Fantastic #'s especially the mph

I am quite pleased and a bit surprised by your ET and mph #'s. Keep up the good work.

Some guys on this forum are using this calculator to estimate 0-60 times:

http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php

Your first slip's #s of 8.135 @ 85.57 is estimated 0-60 of 4 seconds flat

Nobody (to my knowledge) has confirmed the calculator's accuracy by actually testing the same car w/ a racelogic box or some equivalent, but still... it should be close, and 4 flat is legitimate supercar territory

Good luck with the exhaust project - look forward to hearing the results
