    i was only able to get the regal to the track once last year and with no tuning and restrictive exhaust it ran a 13 flat but im making some changes and im hoping to run a mid to low 12's. im hoping the mazda will be in the 11's somewhere. im just starting to put the mazda together now. i picked up the car cheap in december after seeing and hearing about the V8 swap option. ive had the 383 sitting around for a couple years just waiting for the right project. my future plans for the regal is to build a reverse flow turbocharged buick 490 stroker but thats about 15k down the road. im looking forward to getting it out this spring and summer to see what it will do
