You know, my mom told me that when I started playing football, and i was always fine

My car with a K/N-Jbrady intake and the mufflers removed without a spare... ran as fast as 14.35 and as slow as 14.6 Its a very significant increase i think.

Stock numbers were like 14.9 and 15.


As far as a supercharger...we would never know. a 400HP Ls400 would probably do low 13s. You would be lucky to get into the 12s.

not the power that kills...its the gearing. You can keep up with a SRT8 300C on the highway in a 98-00 model, but a Dodge neon can damn near beat you to 60mph.
