Jimmy...true true....but 11's on a STOCK motor without ever having to open her up to freshen anything. That's the impressive part to me.

I think it was pretty amazing that he did it with a stock tranny(besides shift kit) and converter. The TPI unit was also stock besides the 52 mm TB. My goal is to hit those numbers without being bottle fed.

Sweet video, very impressive for the stock long block. I am very suprised that 700r4 is holding up.

Wow! very impressive, who says the 700R4's junk? Must be really close to self destruction. Too bad about his daughter, poor kid.

Thats pretty amazing......I would love to say to a curious guy, "yea, it's a stock 350 TPI and auto tranny!" I was amazed at how much the weight reduction did too....took 4 tenths off the time!! That may be my next mod after the car actually runs halfway decent.

Every 100 pounds you remove will give you a tenth (on average).

Well I can't get any skinnier so I guess I'm gonna have to run minimum fuel and loose everything except the driver seat and steering wheel...LOL.
That's good info to have on weight vs. ETA
