Yes. Best ET is 11.70 and best trap is a pinch under 125 MPH if I recall. They still can’t leave for a damn with the factory Torque Management in the tune. Matter of fact as cwebster found it, they might just be faster down the 1/4 stock (until you get a tune anyways). With the additional power, it makes the TQ management kick in sooner and harder and there is more of it than the stock computer is expecting. I can basically side step the clutch at 4K with my foot to the floor on Nitto DR’s and cut a 2.0ft. As cwebster found out running a 26” tall tire can trick the computer into “allowing” you to run a better 60ft.
Having said that I’m not bothered by this as I knew to expect it. I’ve also been doing way more track days than drag racing over the last few years anyways. After I do the top end and oil pump/tune I’ll head back to the 1/4 track and collect my 10 second slip.
