    to honestly answer your question, I figure I can still run high 11's-low 12's with the set-up/tune-up that I will have in the car.
    But only sure way to find out is to get it out there and see....which I will do next year :D

    Anyone have a link to those seats. I can't read who they are made by. I'm looking for some seats to replace my bench seat know that I got the 5 spd in.

    Thank you very much, the seats I looked at was atleast $450 a set. I guess thats why I don't have bucket seats yet.
