Nice job last weekend in class.....

Rock
Alright, well that makes sense. I didn't mean to make this about his car, I'm sure it's as fast as he wants it to be when everything is right. Thanks, it was fun!

What most "Old School" guys don't understand is that the new engines are way closer to their maximum potential from the factory. Racing technology helps improve production technology, correct?
The stock piston rings in a supercharged CJ are 1.5mm, 1.5mm and 2.5mm with a plasma moly top ring and a napier second. The pistons are from Mahle and are anodized and have skirt coating. This is better technology than NASCAR had in the 90's.

Hope this helps.
See you at the races,

Very good observation. I agree with that.

The only problem is that if that was part of the methodology for determining the NHRA rating, it was overcompensated for by a mile.

I have one and have been around these cars a good bit lately. They make great power but 11.90s is a bit of a stretch stock...

I still like my FE too though.....:D
I have a 2011 5.0 auto.

Back in March at Cecil County, I went 11.88@118 with just a tune and drag radials. The DA was -1600'

A week later at Island Dragway, the DA was +600 and I went 12.09@116.6, again just a tune and drag radials.

That's with the car shifting at 7100. Add a Boss intake and the car will hold the power higher allowing you to shift much higher. A stick car launching 6k and shifting over 7500 would definitely get you into the 120's.
