> KKKUstom, one more thing. The cams have effected the powerband so as you know it has a slower start with more power in the higher RPM. I will have it dyno’d to get the max out of that but probably after summer. The car was built for purpose to be a rally car not a quarter mile car. With that said, this car on my local Autobahn will get up to my crusing speed ( I will not incriminate myself especially in writing )extremely quickly and run there for 6 hours at a clip comfortably, it runs cool ( 205 - 219 F at speed ), still has plenty power in reserve to piss off the occassional non believer, and I can sip my coffee and not feel as if I need a death grip on the wheel as I make my bi-monthly journey as quickly and stealthily as possible. But the quarter is what a lot of folks consider to be the gold standard so… I think a 14 second soccer mom looking wagon ain’t too shabby. But I am going for 13. If I hit that whoo hoo better than ever expected, if not, I have nothing to be ashamed of.

With that trap speed your right around where you should be, with a “experianced” driver its proably a mid 14 where it stands now… but for 6-7lbs? That its running in a soccer mom as you said vehicle… thats pretty badass
