Ray Wilson started out racing a T-78 and went mid 10's with it. (on C116) Then he went bigger turbo. (i think a T51R) and ran 9's.

Yes, there have been plenty that went 10's w/ the power fc.

I remember Vosko went 12's with 576rwhp?! LOL.....

On a serious note Kevin, if you can make 450rwhp you can run a 10sec. pass. Simple as that!

The stock tranny is pretty beefy as it is...Mileage is the real killer on these, and that damned 2nd to 5th shift;p..

Glad I got a t78..just goes to show newer is not necessarily better..
