I know exactly what ET's consist of, and what the MPH mean. Unfotunately just cuz u make good power on the dyno it doesnt mean u will be fast. For instance the most power on a Dyno say for fuel tuning, and cam tuning may not necissarily be the fastest way down the strip. As a matter of fact alot of times it isnt. Many people who run their car find faster times changing tuning aspects of their car at the strip after it has been dyno tuned. Most people that I know dont change it drastically obviously (just small changes). This is especially true in American muscle cars. So I say again its about being faster down the strip, not what your car does on a piece of paper. Who really cares what a car dynos at. Its what the car can do!
well as far as the ET's goes the car wasnt changed other than the cam. It seemed to make a significant difference, to the butt dyno, and to the GTECH.
