If what you're saying is true, it's only worth a .1 sec. 1/4 mile difference , then so be it. With that being said, swapping gears, adding a lighter driveshaft AND putting drag radials on vehicle is a huge difference. I stand by my statement. Try running that 10.56 with the stock rear-end, stock driveshaft and the All-Season 275's the car comes with from the factory. Those mods shaved at least .5 sec. from his 1/4.

Nobody is saying it is not impressive. This second coming of the muscle car wars has been a blast so far. I'm a dedicated GM guy, but I can appreciate them all.
