yep, still the stock TB(maybe a 70mm in the future cause I can get a good deal on it).

Sky,
Dont get discouraged I posted that for encouragment for my self as well as every body else.I think your car is just really heavy.I'm sure your car is close to 300 lbs heavier than mine(3040 w/o driver).Remeber 100 lbs= 1mph,and you have to race it.I have done little tunning to the car since I put it back together.You need to get out on the track and run it. I gained most of the time in my launching and driving.I am pretty sure I can get 11's out N/A with some slicks ,new axle's and some more agressive driving.I'm sure the long tubes ,a no cat X-pipe and 50 more lbs off thats been sitting in my shop wont hurt either.

It is a road race/auto-Xr so I look at performance not only in power (straight line speed only) but in weight saving's (will help all aspect's of perfomance accl, breaking, cornering and even Fuel efficiency).

I still think the E-cam wasn't the greatest idea but the power band of the motor is much higher so I can stay longer in a gear.which is the reason I used to could barly walk my brother in his 106 mph 4 valvle cobra.Now last time we raced he accused me of spraying him (by at least 6-7 cars at the top of 4th).I pulled over on the side of the road and poped the hatch and said their punk :-) pointing to the empty bottle bracket.He just smiled, got back in his car and hasn't said anything.He'll have my a$$ when he finally get's the blower on that thing, thought.

BTW, I almost forgot, the weather was good, 70's 70%humidity and sunny so the track was warm, it either was hooking really well or I just got the tires sticky enuf.
