Trying 3.5 IM for first time tomarrow

Well tomarrow i do my first 1/4 runs with 3.5 IM on my 3.5 i have always used the 00 vi . with the 00 vi best trap ever was 103.99 (13.35) with IM gutted but i had JWT ecu also and 2.1 60's .
My best ET 13.13 with working 00 vi ,slicks 1.77 60ft and 102 trap, with stock ECU however no fuel ,timing or rev change.


only other change besides 3.5 IM tomarrow is my cars weight its prob 20lbs lighter than when it ran a 13.13 this year and it will be much cooler 40's-50's instead of 76 degrees. like the 13.13.
Also my 3.5 IM is gutted no switchover and i have modified my 3.5 IM like no other if i have time at the track i will put that variant on but i feel it is way to peaky for my 6500rpm limit .


I wish i had switched to 3.5 IM in the beginning because the difference between the two is night and day ,not that its a inferior IM it just doesnt line up not even close . if it lined up it would be great but after i took another look recently i relized that it being off up to a 1/4 inch in some spots that thats hurting airflow pretty bad . and from the butt dyno and much increased wheel spin i would say its true . ill see tomarrow.......

Yeah this is really the tail end of the season for us northern guys. Then it's back to mid winter tweaking.
