Displacement upgrade

I don't think the extra 300cc is worth it for the money and effort. If you blow-up your motor... then sure, get it, but not otherwise!

Just my opinion here! 6speeds are putting down equal or higher #'s with the same mods on a 3.2L

on lighter smaller wheels with drag radials...my model that i used for my rescent 1/4's when compared to my 8.969 comes up 13.80 to 13.79...and believe me when i say there's more there...what will you say if i pull off a 13.79 on street tires and stock wheels...still not worth it?

Whoa

Man... don't get sensitive here!

All I am saying is that I (ME PERSONALLY) wouldn't spend the money on an extra 300cc on a big and heavy car!

I am sure you can run a 13.7x whatever... and I am sure I could do it as well

To each their own! You never know... I am building a turbo-kit and I might get 4/10's of a second improvement and then blow-up my motor!

Let's hope not! Because I'm watching/hoping/wishing you well on the turbo.

it's that time of the month...j/k...seriously im not sensitive...i just realize how some people dont ...that there's a huge difference between 14.1 and 13.8 and the fact that this thing could be done at the right shop for 3500$ out the door...also concidering there are headers out ther for 350 instead of 1050,and that i think most if not all of the performance from a cold air can be had by removing the lower resonator and dropping in a 50$ panel
