First gear now literally charges and getting rubber on second gear shift...wow...anyone looking for additional power should look at this first...I am so happy with my car now...thank you so much for your help....
Excellent! I had him bump my timing up 2 degrees and do some datalogs a while back, and it did make a noticeable difference (seat of the pants at least). I need to get back to the track with the advanced timing and the 19's back on and see what she does.

OP good times.. You have strong trap speeds, you could have a low 13 with a better tire setup and launch.. shed some weight too.. Thanks for the before and after with the HR y pipe.. Did you feel any difference when you put it on?

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it considering my race weight is 3700lbs with between 1/8-1/4 tank of gas (yeah, I'm an ogre at 6'4" & 275lbs lol). I don't intend to shed any extra weight in the car, I always like to see how my cars run exactly like I run them on the street - pump gas, street tires, full interior etc. Only weight reduction is spare tire removed - but thats how I drive it all the time and I have done that with all of my cars before this as well.

I did notice a slight difference in exhaust note right off the bat with the HR y-pipe, a little bit deeper growl to it under load. After about 2-3 days of beating on it to get the ECU adjusted to it, I did notice a difference in seat of the pants feel. Although initially to me it felt like more of an increase in the lower end of the power band. I look at it like having a longer collector on a set of headers, which would traditionally give you more torque down low. Obviously based on the dyno, it was exactly the same power until 4500rpm or so where it picked up until redline. But yes, definitely a noticeable gain - not bad for a free mod lol.

Installed MREV2, 5/16" iso-thermal spacer and Injen CAI last week, and today installed Kinetix resonated test pipes with de-fouler trick... w00t! I'll post up when I have updated track times or dyno.

Not in this weather. If we get a cool Wednesday night I might sneak down, but otherwise I don't plan to until later on closer to fall.

What all do you have done to yours?

I have every bolt-on except cams. I plan on installing ART pipes in a couple of weeks. I have a thread on my run on driver in the drag section.

I'm waiting until it gets cooler also like in sept. Let me know I've been there a couple of weds nights before in May.

The best I could do on my ET streets was 13.5@100. I did my 13.23 on street tires, but the weather was way cooler.

My SN is Dsskyline on driver.

Ah ok, I thought it was the same person. Yeah so now I have Injen CAI, plenum, spacer, HR ypipe, test pipes and +2 deg timing. The car pulls great with the test pipes now. We'll see how it plays out in reality, but I'd like to see a 13.5X @ 104-105mph. But I don't want to get ahead of myself.

I'd like to, but I don't know if I'm going to have time. I have a lot going on Saturday. Tell you what, Monday night was AWESOME weather. Too bad it wasn't open then lol. Nice cool air.
