Nice numbers for the $$$ invested.

The forums has a handful of 380-400whp S/C set-ups running LOW 12's with mph in the teens. I disagree that they are not good for dragging, the "low" TQ helps you hook up.

Time to back up the numbers with some traps....if you can pull a C6 Vette, pulling 113mph+ down the 1/4 should be easy.

BTW-I cant wait to see your wheels, they look sick in that PS

Oh BTW-we should have a S/C G35 face off in the mid-a. Jouvert has a sweet and proven fast set-up, and on stock tires (last I saw him). Id love to see that run go down, from a dig or a roll....

I am about 6000 with parts, buying tools twice (robbed), two tunes, and 3 dynos....

its weird man...its like when I run stock Gs and Zs first and second are neck and neck..then it starts to pull in third and 4th... Id rather race on the short side of summit than the drag strip...but I will run once or twice with my 295.25.21 once or twice...but the rims are waaaaay to nice to mess up....

C6 run was from 60mph...buy the end of third I had him by a half a car and pulling. My car is about the same performance as Zains C5, if not exactly!

we had a nice encounter....

Hey Bert, have you noticed any difference with how stable the car is at 150+ with your diffuser on?

Past 150mph it feels more comfortable to me. The steering feels slightly better planted, but its nothing big.

October huh... I think I should have my project fully built and broken in by then. . . . . . add me to the list of wanna be go getters... Note, what you might see on the street though will not be what you see at the track... Downgradeable interior, lighter wheels and Toyo track tires.... mmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm..... that's the plan anyway
