That's pretty amazing results, IMO.
To give some perspective, my typical stock 3400 with the non-intercooled supercharger @ 6 lbs boost and street tires ran about the same E.T.

Niagra Falls a couple of times with you guys, but that goes back to when I was with Grands Ontario. So, a few years back. Didn't have the hood back then but had the wheels on it. Car has the Corvette brakes on it so Im using those because I have to on this one. I know the Alero wheels will clear the brakes, but I kinda like the fact that I run that time with big wheels, and a dam heavy full race suspension, and those tires weigh a bloody ton too. The car is really set up for autocross, not for the quarter.

Sway bars are massive..lol Full H&R race suspension on it. Struts would be the same I assume, but those bars added quite a bit that I hope I offset with the hood. I droped about 30 Lbs with the hood on it but 2" bars front and rear were a lot of weight when I had one in each hand before I installed 'em. The springs weigh a bit more than stock as well. Then the brakes added weight and those tires are 7 ply Akina autocross tires on 17's. All together it is quite a bit more. I noticed a big difference in getting off the line with this set-up. I would love to run it with stock suspension and break the 13's with it, but just too much work for me so it is what it is man.
I have had the charger for 2 years now and am yet to get it in there, I know, I suck. Just havent ad the money to finish it off. I really dont want to just slap it in there for the sake of having it in there if you know what I mean. I still need to buy a few things for it and money has been pretty tight since buying a home in Burlington and having our second baby a few months ago. Ill get it done, but it is going to take me a bit to finish it yet. This week I am replacing the lifters and that is gonna run me about 650 or so, then if I find a bent rod Im into another 200 bucks on top of that. The rods are chrome molly but you never know. I am really hoping its just a collapsed lifter. Going to replace all 12 anyway, then go from there.

I think he wanted more to know if "full race suspension" meant you have coilovers that we cant find around here lol.

Oh, forgot to tell you about the spindles... LOL This has the Corvette spindles welded in there as well. The Corvette hubs and spndles weigh quite a bit more than the GA ones too. We considered coil overs, but not worth what it was going to cost to make it work. It can be done though....
