just curious as to what kind of shifter you are using and how does it run with that cam change you made?

dont get an electric supercharger they're just messing with ya or at least i hope so cuz theyre a joke as well as a Tb spacer and the tornado

to get in the low 13s you will need:
nitrous-100-150shot easiest and cheapest
supercharger- radix would be best IMO but $5k
turbo - sts is only kit out right now mounts the turbo under the bed
motor swap- 6.0 or LS1 with boltons and a cam/springs

low 14s or high 13s is all you will get with the n/a 4.8

the 5speed is kinda hit and miss cuz turbogibbs put nearly 500rwhp through it without problems and ive heard of others with boltons have clutches and others hard parts go out on them

a select few can, have, or will get a mid-low 13 sec. et with a N/A 4.8 and it takes determination to do it

i cant remember the tv show but it was on spike TV and they tested the tornado on a dyno and it showed NO power gains

there are tons on here that dog the Tb spacer. it does make a cool sound and it could be used for a homemade nitrous spray plate but other than that most show NO gains with it , there ws even a guy that came on here trying to sell them and he had a several page thread where everybody told him he was a liar

are you going to switch to a electric supercharger to break into the 10s? huh
