I should have noted that I will be putting on a new set of afr 165's or eq. along with a cam, supercharger or some spray all as soon as the snow fly's. I went to the NMRA race @ joliet today and looked at a few different ones but wanted some more input before I buy the wrong one. Either will work though. I already have a trickflow street in and gained .2 tenths. WOW!!!

save yourself the money . buy once, go with a setup for 30lb's... buy once, and save in the long run, plus your def gunna need 30's at some point with your projected mods.

Diet and suspention, if you get down to a 1.5 60ft, it will surprise you as to how fast you will go. My car is deadly on the streeet. All of my races are won from the holeshot. With a set of regular ol Avenger raidials, I have seen 1.70 60fts. This in a 2800lb car will run deep 12s with the motor you have right now. Besides what good is more power with more tire spin. And do not race out of your game, if you are setting up a drag car, race from out the hole, not from 70mph and on. A little turbo import will shine from speed and smash on it. This where you are the weekest. Be smart have fun and whipp the dog crap out of those little punk bastards.

the intake isn't enough for the 70mm. did you change the injectors? that maf requires a minimum of 24lb hr injectors. the street intake only flows good to 5500 and a 5.0 likes to breath to 58 - 6000. especially with the gear and other mods you have as the redline revlimiter doesn't hit til 6200

A mostly stock 5.0 doesn't make much power past 5k,top end starts to give up, so for me now with stock heads, I limit it to 5k with a msd 6al. The reason I chose the trickflow street is that it should make more power than stock from idle to 5k. And after that it will make more power than stock. Also $379 is better than $550. So far I'm like the trick flow street. Maybe someday I'll switch to something else.
