Back to FSP for bigger injectors, more boost and a stall converter.

is it me , or 134 mph is kinda low for your whp? what boost right now? I'm guessing a 3.25 upper pulley without the restrictor. Now getting a overdrive HB? I see you already have ATI.

I'm currently restricted so that will be coming out to raise boost along with a ECS stage one fuel system and id850 injectors. A 3200 stall converter should help with the mundane 1.80 60ft times.

I stuck some 19" Mickey DR's on stock rims and they work very well at the 2 tracks I primarily use. They both do a great job prepping the track and traction has never been an issue. (especially with a stock converter) LOL

What size front tires are you using? I know the mickeys are 27.44 in diameter which is about half an inch taller than stock. It's "supposed" to throw off the active handling and TC.

The hp is definitely there! I had a 3000 stall on my c5. You'll like it. Anything was better than the stocker.
