Not bad... most of your gains came from fixing the KS I'd say.

Thanks for the comments guys. hopefully if I can get an ECU and maybe a VI I can get into the 8's all motor. I will be trying out a ram air setup through the driver's side headlight next time I go. We'll see if that helps out any.

Very hard to get into the 8's (1/8) with a 3.0 on street tires.

The way I see it is, I am .28 away, I know this is a lot in the 8th, but I believe I can hit 9.20's or high 9.1's on a night where I can get good traction, and less wheel hop. (maybe I should invest in some "J bars") The season has only just begun.

Oh it's definately possible to go 8's with a 3.0, just saying that's it's hard to do. The fastest N/A 3.0 is still Neal's old GXE, and he went something like 8.99 on street tires in the 1/8. Hell even I have a 3.5 and my best on street tires is 8.88. But it's definately possible on street tires.

I think I hit a 9.01 with the 3.0. The first 1/8th mile was never my car's strong point.

To hit a 9.0 on street tires he's probably going to need another 1mph or so and a great launch. It's definitely possible tho.
