For everyone curious about the turbo setup, just keep in mind this is a non intercooled setup that is being pushed by 346ci's, lag is not a problem.

Congrats on the car, my bro has one just like it, minus the turbo.

Actually it's because of the driveway the car is on. The car has a stock 6 speed and I know for a fact the previous owner didn't drive it hard and bang the gears. The new setup ony has 1200 miles on it. He left it at 6 psi (stock setting) and 8 psi when the methanol is turned on. I bumped it up to 10 psi when the methanol is on.

I doubt it, mainly because my car has a stock 6 speed and stock rear end. I could get my ass handed to me by 12 second cars if I baby it off the line which is what I'd have to do so I don't break the rear or tranny. Another thing, don't you have to have a roll cage in your car if you break a certain 1/4 mile time? I'm pretty sure my car would be fast enough to where it needs a roll cage as far as the track is concerned.

Thanks though.

Believe it or not, I never had this car to begin with. I just recently purchased it from a guy in Utah but had to wait a week for it to get here on the car carrier. The only other "fast" cars I've owned were a 1990 mustang gt with a powerdyne supercharger, it ran low 12's, and after I sold that I bought my ex boss's 1989 Camaro Iroc-z which was all motor and it ran high 12's. This SS is like night and day compared to those cars in every way.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
