[QUOTE="svtcarboy, post: 36707, member: 1998"] I'll be the first to say that although I stoplight derby, and may do a dragstrip in the near future, tracks and winding roads are my idea of fun. I've done the straight line speed, and now going 120+ has a very blase "been there, done that" feel. As far as a 1/4 in the 13's, I say it's believeable with the S/C, being at a dyno where one put out over 275 at the wheels (estimated crank hp = 335 using a ratio derived from stock SVT's), that's over 60% more power, and I think it could take 10% off a drag time. I personally don't do it, because I need longevity from my car, and frankly, it's quick enough to make me happy and get me in trouble. Now if the current engine blows, I may upgrade to a 3.0 litre, but I'm happy with my car just the way he is. [/QUOTE]
