Yeah but I'm trying to beat my 1/4 mile time too :icon17:
mustang will do that:stirthepot:


Seriously though...you will probably pick up essentially nothing for most of the reliability trade-offs...

Wanna go faster? buy some drag radials.

Cool, looks like I'll be ok with the 7800 limit.

Thats why Im at 7800. I tend to hit the limiter more often than Id like to admit. Its borderline abusive. I would have liked 8k but my car wouldnt have. If you only plan to take it up that high on a special occasion I say go for it.

This is like the useless thread for folks who want to still talk about car stuff in general...:icon17:

I'm never that high on a regular basis though. Don't really ever go past 5k while I DD. Probably only get close to redline like once a week at the most. I think I'll be ok with having it set at 8k for when I need it, probably just at the drag strip.
Rarely past 5k!?!? Holy nuts I wish I had that kinda restraint! Your gonna love the Gen 3s. And just wait till you get HFCs or test pipes whuch I prefer. Itll open up your CBE a lot. Itll sound 10x better:tup:
