Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the club! That's an aggressive looking Intimidator you have there, thanks a lot for sharing! Got some plans for mods already?

If I'm not mistaking I went a high 12sec in the 1/4 and my 1/8th was low 8s, if this is the case your gonna need a nice intercooler for that blower, headers, intake, injectors, and at minimum a 3.2 if not a 3.0 pulley to get there. IMO

Well keep in mind if you get a front plog then do headers you have just bought the plog for nothing. Might as well go headers from the start if you know the goal your out to reach instead of doing things twice and spending more money in the long run. I learned this the hard way so trying to keep you from making the same mistake is all

Only reason is because i would rather spend $800 from the headers on other stuff first and have read alot of bad stuff about the ebay headers and plog install doesnt seem to bad
