That's my goal, don't know if I'll see it in the heat tho, might have to wait for better weather, we'll see. That 7.45 was in street trim too, with DR's on my stock wheels. I have a set of Bogarts w/ slicks/skinnies that shave 135lbs off my stock wheels

if that was on DR's,then you should have no problem at all getting well into the 6s on slicks and with the new mods.

Thanks. The entire stock harness that you see going around both valve covers will be gone eventually. The injectors are on a new harness that runs behind the fuel rails and out the back of the manifold. I just haven't had time to disect the stock harness and reroute the connections I still need, but it's definitely going, looks like crap.
