    Should be meeting up with the graphics guy soon about putting some stripes over my car. I just wanted to see if some of you could post up some pics of yours so I can decide how I want mine, and show him a pic of something like what I want. Also, let me know how wide your stripes are, and how far...

    14.618 @ 3192 ft (DA)

    What would be the best temp and weather conditions for racing? When I get my 14.6 @99mph it was about 90 degrees and humid here in southeast kansas. Would that affect it? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I am a newbie to this.

    Tips for running at the track?

    Does putting on an axle back axhaust system improve power or just sound? Or do I need to get diff cats, and x-pipe, and then mufflers? Also, where do I need to look for info on different throttle bodies? I want to get the most hp out of my car with out doing any major work to it YET.

    Tips for running at the track?

    Im pretty excited to go back to the track again. I want to get a 13.9 sooo bad. My buddy ran a 14.0 in his nova so Im shooting for better than that,lol. Even spinning off the line I smoked him off the line, but once I shifted to third he blew past me. He ran 101mph in the 1/4, so I think it'll...

    Tips for running at the track?

    I have never officially ran my car (or any other) down the drag strip. I am planning to run it friday night. I was just wondering if there were any tips I should know or do to the car before I go that may help my time. Like for instance. Do I run it with the traction control on or off? Do I push...

    Flowmaster or SLP?

    I took my mufflers off at the shop today and drove it home. Honestly, and this is just my opinion, but it sounds like an old farm truck now haha. Altho, when taking off full throttle from a stop it does sound pretty cool. But at idle and regular town driving it sounds kinda bad. Down shifting is...

    Flowmaster or SLP?

    Hmm, i may unbolt my stock mufflers and if i like the sound I will probaly get me a set of slp. My local muffler shop recommends the magnaflow mufflers and tips. But they are 340 installed, so I am keeping my options open for now. I know for sure tho I do not want flowmasters.
