    I will probably be able to with headers and some sort of spray. That higher CR should help.

    Rockers are a great mod, I haven't grown tired of mine yet, and i've had them in my car since 2003 and nearly 100,000 miles with them. And as was said above, A full ICed/Rocker/Header car can be pretty damn quick. I'm planning for 12s for my setup. My goal has always been at least a 12.9. I'm hoping with the addition of Alky, Higher Stall, Gears, and Slicks my goal is obtainable. I'm always skeptical though. I haven't raced the car in years at the track...

    It probably had the catback off of it and it took it the entire HWY to get to that speed

    There's going to be a slight breaking period as the pushrods wear out any imperfections in the new seats of the rockers. If you have a magnetic drain plug it should be able to catch anything bad along with the filter.

    I'm at about that 500 mile mark after my rockers and I'm changing it this weekend. I used dino oil though so I'm eager to get back to synthetic.
