I still am favoring ProChargers...just seem to be more of them on the faster cars...Use the same intake if you want though.

I"ll put you in the passenger seat of my car, after a little over 9 seconds you can tell me if it's still borring or not....

Everybody and their mother has a power adder(No2, Turbo, S/C). Hell even car manufactors come with a power adder. I agree that it's the best bang for buck mod. But IMO it's the easy way out. I give Derek mad props for the times he's running but with a FI I would expect more I guess. U can put a power adder any Mustang or F-body and run 11's but how many are doing that N/A? I love what Hot Street at NMRA(I think that's the class name) runs. All motor runing mid to low 9's. Friggin awesome. -Mark

Just give me a few more weeks to get it all straightened out Tony. Just a few more weeks.
Too late, Joe. I did the Ted Danson/Cheers thing and retired on top. The car and most of the pieces have been sold...but the new owner has great plans so the Stock Doc won't be stock for long. And, it will be even faster.

So Which Combo Would You Do ?
The one that makes me smile the most when I pick up the timeslip. Period... end of story....

In my mind, it doesn't matter how I got there... I'm there and to hell with anyone that doesn't find it respectable...

To me at least, the whole N/A vs. power adder argument is similar to the 4 cyl vs. V8 argument and who deserves more respect in that arena...
So I guess all the N/A guys are saying that it is "more challenging to make a car go fast N/A" ?

No that's not the case, we just don't need any help to go fast.....
