Hammer, you mentioned earlier in the thread that anything above ~172 crank pulley needs an 82mm TB. Why is that?
I've seen it mentioned before that stock TB's are good for up to 600HP, thus I've never bothered, especially considering the 'hiccup' issues others have spoke of. I still tend to believe that cooling is the biggest problem.

It seems that something is wrong with my car if these cars are running such high mph in the 1/4
My mods are as follows
Evosport Shortie Headers with primaries deleted
Stock secondary cats, Stock resonator, Stock Mufflers
175MM Crank
Eurocharged Beltwrap Kit
Split Cooling
82MM MB Throttle Body
Intake Scoops
K&N Filters
Car dynoed at 480whp/590ftlb on a dynojet
I ran a 11.44@123.01 on probably the best DA I could get. It was last November in Wisconsin with low humidity probably 50degrees
I was thinking of putting an x pipe, killer chiller, trunk tank and meth in but i just cant see getting 6mph in the 1/4 with these mods. When I ran the car at 80degrees and mild humidity my best mph was 121 and went down to 117 after back to back to back pulls. Some of you guys say you are running 128mph in 80 degrees.

Have the grenades been spread around the total production run, or were they isolated to the earlier units? I have one awaiting installation, but I'm on the fence as to whether I should pick up a scatter shield before I go down that road.
