It should get you into the mid 11s. If you install it with cam, heads, headers, intake, blower and juice.
Otherwise it's a POS.

Install a nice set of JE pistons w/ .8 mm top rings, steel c/shaft and good set of rods. Cam and rockers with .750 lift. Get a set of properly ported heads with good valves and springs. 4:10 gear in the back. Then install the air foil and point it out to your buddies that most of the gains came from that.

i'd just throw it away and request they never send their trinket-peddling mag again.
