x2, I'd love a 6.90 1/8th car...
well your car running mid 11s would beat most of the cars on the street believe me. Melissa beat up a lot of "fast cars" with her old set up. Her new set up ..well you can just pace the guys then wave an floor it

Youre about $4000 in parts not including labor away from running 6.90's or faster all night off the foot brake with drag radials not including the trans work you need. You will get there way before i ever did.
Dont worry about Bozo. I take kool guy parts off my car so i can make it a fair race between me and clowns like him.
Cool! Ill be saving up then haha. Speaking of transmission work...

last time i checked , the colder the air, the better.....they must have changed that..
cold air is nice BUT the combo is more important. We run the intercooler and air cleaner in the hot engine bay to preheat the alky better

So running a FMIC and alky isnt as effiecent as running alky with the stock IC?cold air is nice BUT the combo is more important. We run the intercooler and air cleaner in the hot engine bay to preheat the alky better

Besides the differances of drag car an daily driver...It's starting to depend on your location, if your up north with cold air you can stay stock, but if your in the warm air of the south, Frount mounts the way to go,,but there is Allways the flow resriction,I said it before, a small box can only flow So Much..

There's a scoop on SLIC, its not like its got flame throwers heating it up and the difference between running SLIC and front mount is not worth 3 seconds in the 1/4 mile. On my V4, I dropped the lower part of the scoop down further to get even more air. If I drive my T around town (in 90F+ degree heat), the IC is not too hot to touch. Once I get into the 9's I think I'll pull a bison and try my stock untouched IC, throttle body and doghouse and see how much slower it goes.

Just after dawn racing is where it's at so the pavement is cooler. Although, I think the moon's gravitational field has more affect on performance than the air temp difference going into a SLIC and a front mount. What if there's wind, and last I checked, heat rises. If there's a worry about too much radiant heat, better thermal wrap those low hanging front mount pipes as well so they don't get heat soaked by the pavement.
