A 12.7. Hate to sound like one of those guys but it should have been a 12.4 or 12.5. Mike and I fouled out the plugs the night before on the dyno. I didn't even realize it till the next morning when I was half way to Rockingham for the horsepower junkies meet. But the 1.7 60' time should be a clear indication of the ability to run mid 12's. I'm headed back to the track within the next month.

I don't run nitrious. I'm pushing the stock block to its limits now. My boost level at Troyers which is at an elevation of over 3000' was 12.45psi avg and produced 475rwhp and 532rwtq. Here on the coast I see boost of 13-14lbs. In addition according to Mike the hp loss is 2.5% per 1000' elevation. So if you add back in the ~ 7.5%, I'm actually making 510/572 at the wheels at sea level.

Do you just avoid wetting the electrical components the best you can, or do you cover them? I was always weary about the electronics under the hood when cleaning so I cleaned fast and dried faster with the leaf blower...

All depends. If you don't have an intercooler you can run but 7-8psi max. At best you would make 360-370rwhp if you have the headers, x-pipe, and efans. With 10psi and those mods you can get 400-420rwhp which is a little over 500 at the crank. The Eaton blowers run hot and take a lot of power to turn.

Did you determine if you have the intercooled system or not?

How would I determine my Horsepower to the wheel with a All Wheel Drive? I'm pushing 8-10 pounds open throttle.

I have a 2.57 pulley inner cooled roush m90 tune roush air intake roush legal racing exhaust transfered over to dual exhaust.

i'm doing a consistent 13.5 in a quarter

I should be getting 465 brake horsepower
