I know Larry but I do have to ask, what about a high 7 sec low 8 sec manual behind a SBF

Bone stock my auto ran 9.30's in the 1/8th....dropping 2 full seconds N/A in the 1/8th was awesome.......7.3x @92.....no one expects that......converter, gears, and DR's will drop you to around 8.5 consistently....
