The motor is basically stock (CAI and mani but no pulley or tune). Your dad is looking for someone in Houston to do a tune but I don't think he will find anyone. I am satisified with my engine setup for now. I don't expect to pass any experienced S-2000's. I think my car's quickness in the corners and acceleration when I can open up the throttle; will be impressive enough.

Thanks for use of the accelerometer. I never got a good launch. I first tried with the traction control "on". The TC system let off the throttle so much that it felt like I lost one full second. I registered a 13.4 quarter mile. The next time I tried it with the TC "off" I went sideways down the road for a while (more than one second). The crossfire still went forward enough to avoid the ditch on the opposite side of the road. That run was 12.9 seconds and 363 HP. I think I can do better but I don't enjoy the stress of driving 120 mph!!! Not because I don't enjoy going that fast but because I worry about getting a ticket. I found a good safe (car and people free) stretch of Texas highway but my lack of luck tends to be freakish at times.

I won't need a room because I will be commuting, but thanks for the info anyway.
