I said both cars stock but I did have wider tires - 275s to her stock 255s. Yes, I can also launch just a tad bit better, but she weighs less!
She definately gets the holeshot on me though with just a needwings and with 285/30s. That was before she totalled the black 6.

Machine gray 06 has been babied it's whole life so far! I haven't properly broken that steed in yet, but it has a bit planned for her in the future... I picked up a unused Johnson and LET H/E off spacemanspiff so those will go on before a 185 or stacked setup.

I've been saving money to throw heads and cam on my 8 first though so I can get it down in the low 12's before it hits the bottle. Then we'll do a pulley or stacked pulleys on hers maybe...no rush during the winter.

All said and done I've spent over $3000 on my bolt ons and installation so far and have a vehicle equal to hers with a simple Needwings CAI. The performance potential is in these 6's still! Someone needs to slap on a larger whipple!!!! I still haven't heard of anyone blowing an srt6 engine yet pushing it, can't say the same for the 8's though. I don't want to be the first with her rare car though...lol!
