Default Guess My ET

If you have been following, I have ran 10.31 @ 137 1/4 and 6.7 @ 104 1/8. This is an E-Force with stock trans and gears. I was running stock wheels with NTO5R. With the following changes

had changed the shift points in sport mode. It did shift @ 5000rpm 35mph in first now it is at 6800rpm and 45mph I also had the do this in 2nd and 3rd. The car really walks around on the street now. Also bought a pair of 17in wheels and a pair of Hoosier slicks.

What do you think this will do to my ET and Speed?

On OEM/stock valve springs?
I would never rev that high with the bone stock springs still in there, especially with the added power of a blower.

But other than that, you could possibly see high 9s the next time out but probably closer to a low low 10.

Oh ok, that's different. Was the cam already in there for the 10.3 pass?
And still stock torque converter and full size front wheels I assume?

The higher RPM shift points and new wheels/tires should definitely help, it could be a close one.
