Hell Yeah!!! Just got back from the track...
Well, last time I ran at the track w/ my S/C and HBP I got a best of 14.1 @ 102. I took off my 19's and put back the stock wheels wrapped w/ SO3's. I got 7 runs in and these 3 were my best:
60'----2.253----------2.142-----------2.290
1/4---13.868---------13.692---------13.777
MPH--104.53---------104.98---------105.47
I'm pretty happy w/ the S/C now. A 13.6xx is damn good IMO. More than that, look at those trap MPH's!!! 105 MPH is pretty damn fast!
The bad news is now I have to decide if I want the GO or the SHOW. I love my 19" Se7en Mods but they are soooooo damn heavy (and w/ more weight at the periphery). The stock wheels are just horrible in comparison. Maybe I'll copy MattG and get some polished RPM's.
To top it all off, I got to put a CTS in it's place on the way home by about 3 car lengths from 70-100ish.

Very nice runs Tom.
What a difference those wheels made.
What were the conditions (Temp, humidity) Any Pinging? Did you disconnect your IMRC on these runs?

Congrats on an awesome run !!
I'm not so sure about the 6 speed running any quicker though.
Keep the heavy wheels OFF !!!!!!!!!!!

I think Matt is just a better driver than me. My SO3's on the stock wheels are stickier than his Parada Spec-2's...I know, since my 19's are wrapped in the Spec-2's.
You should of seen some of the cars I lined up against. There was this blond driving this awesome yellow Mustang Shelby and another time this older white Grand National (he said the year but I forget). Both cars jumped easily 3-4 cars on my out of the hole but I ended up getting almost identical 1/4 times. The difference was I was trapping 105 and they were in the mid-90's. I spoke to the GN guy after and he was like "dude you just passed me at the 1/4 mark like I was standing still". I was about 8 mph faster than him so thats like a car driving past me at 8mph while I'm sitting on my ass having a beer. Kinda cool what kind of power this car has up top.

great times. Compromise and get some lightweight 18s. Maybe get some SSRs or some other forged light weight wheels. Keep the look but keep some performance. Isn't typeR running some 18" OZ SLs?

A set of bling-bling "drive-around" 19s would ne pretty sweet with some very light 17s for strip use...
The 17x8 +48 offset SSR Comps are VERY light compared to stock. When I swapped out the stock wheels for the SSRs, the difference was very noticeable.
14 lbs + Toyo 235/45-17 @ 23.8 lbs ~= 38lbs per tire/wheel vs. 52lb total for MXM4 (26lbs) + stock '01 wheels (26lbs) = 52lbs/(tire+wheel).
14 lbs * 4 = 56 lbs less rotating mass. Doesn't seem like much, but its like dumping a passenger -- or more than a full tank of gas.

Do you notice the difference in acceleration when you've got close to 200lbs of passenger in your car?
Do you notice the difference in acceleration between full tank and near empty?
Rotating weight (inertial effects) != static weight.
A good rule of thumb when the weight (actually mass) is lost at the outside of the rim is about 3 x (rotating mass) === static mass.
OK?
To put things in perspective: go to the track and do a run with a big guy in the passenger seat – and then without them.
