I did a:

14.705 sec @ 90.59 mph.

Occurred at 10:03PM, 72*F, 75% humidity.

The key to my great run is I let it cool for about hour with the hood open. Pushed the car with the engine off almost to the starting line. I wanted to use Ice on the intake but they prohibit ice in the staging lanes. I am very happy with my time. Next time I am going to try Dave Ridge's Home Depot ram air kit?

They sure did John and even dual throttle bodies.

You could also tape up the grill, I did that also.

Congrats. You have the World's record for a 97 Plymouth Prowler based on the time slips I've seen posted...

VERY impresive time for any year Prowler...

I was out at the Track with C5Frank and his 2000 Silver Prowler stock. He ran once and got 14.861 vs my 14.989 but Franks Alternator was acting up so he decided to go home. Good thing to because he barely made it home before the battery quit. Frank said the best run he has ever done and Moroso is a 15.60 for a stock 2000 Prowler (OEM intake).

I think If I rig up the dryer vent to the intake and get ambient air in the engine I might be able to get in the mid-14's. Plus I am hoping to get the Mopar Prowler exhaust (not sure if that will help). I try to get my time slip scanned in.

Your right... 1997 cats have a cast iron block & intake. The intake has a dual throttle body. Engine Only put out 219 HP.

Vp fuels makes a 93 octane unleaded which will make you MO power, do not run anything higher.
