Ill have to look at any info I can find in intake heights Id like to go to at least a performer RPM. Sorry about the weather Ive got 4" of heavy wet S@&#* Ive swept my lilac bushes twice their toppling over. I stand outside on my porch and every few minutes I can hear another branch breaking somewhere of in the distance. I'm afraid it's just a mater of time till I lose power

You can run a torker, they're not any taller then the performer, they're just single plain.

We got 9" of snow from about 2AM to 2PM.  It was coming down pretty good.....kids had a great time!  After that, my toys are surely garaged for the winter!

13.1......nice! Some drag radials and refined launches may get you that last tenth you need.

yeah.. a torker is only a 1/4" taller, max.. i'd also look into weiand intakes.. i've heard a lot of good things about them and have had excellant results with their bigger intakes.. i can only imagine how well the smaller intakes perform, compared to the performer

Yea I shift as gently as I can and its not bad. If I power shift it forget it I can leave the line at no more than 2500 rpm or it spins had a blast any way It was in the 30's it was cold in line but 1320' later I was nice and warm. Think I'm gonna hook up heat this weekend the rain washed away the little salt on the roads

That pass was 2.2  I'm doing a five lug 31 spline / cobra brake upgrade upper and lower control arms and sway bar relocation starting in February if the funds allow Id love to change intakes hoping to get on a dyno next month and do a before and after?
