My best E.T. to date is a 12.5 @ 108 mph on drag slicks.  This run was before adding some other modifications.  It held pretty good on the line, but I think it has more.  On the down side I found out that my automatic transmission was slipping the second time I went to the track.  I plan on rebuilding the transmission so I should be able to to pull low 12's and maybe even a 11.90 if I wait till the winter.

Future mods: * Precision turbo & engine front mount intercooler * Rebuilt transmission with hardened stator shaft * 009 or PTE 50 lb/hr injectors * ???  Curious to know why I am needing these extra    mods????  Check back in the beginning of next year!!!    I know it seems like a long time from now, but hey it's    hard keeping up 3 performance cars.  If you have extra    money then send it this way !!!! I won't turn it down.
