Yeah it's not the fastest car on the planet, but for a REAL street car that gets driven all over the place at 3700lbs ... 1.41 60ft ain't bad!!!

Same tires I drive it around on all the time.

Thanks to Mark Menscer for the shocks... they don't call that guy the "shock nerd" for nothing!

How did you end up getting a hood to match the patina of the car after the old one blew off?

Scott.....

You should rightfully be proud of how your car runs, you have done a fantastic job with it

Met a guy last Fri night at a cruise in that kinda reminded me of you..... Lol
Has a 78 Fairmont that looks bone stock with lots of patina. Has a1998 short block from an Explorer
Factory small block in it with 160, 000 miles on it he put aftermarket aluminum heads on, 8.8 rear, and a turbo( forget which one it was, he bought it off ebay for 700 bucks he said) and with 13 pounds of boost it runs mid 10's. He won't twist it harder as he is afraid of it grenading.... Lol...... But what a sleeper

Curious, what pressure are you running at the track?

18.5~19.0psi... Depending on how hard I'm trying to hit the tire.

I think he means tire pressure, get your head out of the boost box

Yes, wasn't thinking it could be taken two ways in your case. I run the same tire, about 80# more weight, certainly less power and I have to drop down to 15 psi on a hot track to keep traction. That seems low to me.
