First run at the track with the new combo is tomorrow. Honestly I'm not sure of what to expect as long as its an improvement. There are a few factors against me


1. Its not tuned yet so I don't have the full power potential out of it.

2. I wont be able to run my MT DR's and Weld Rims (Cliff notes) need longer wheel studs to pass thorough the end of the lug nuts, tech guy said he would fail me if I came back w/ out longer studs. So I'll be forced to run my Nitto's on my Cobra rims.


My best time so far is in my sig and that was done w/ the Cobra intake, 90MM Lighting Mass Air Meter and Crower 15512 camshaft. New combo is in the sig so Im hoping to see some decent gains from here on out especially w/ some tuning, being able to run my MT DR's w/ the weld rims hopefully soon, and some practice driving w/ this new combo. So if anyone wants to throw out some guesses for what you think it will run have at it

To tell you the truth it doesn't sound like you should even be running your car. Why run your car if you have a list of reasons that it may not perform well. That makes no sense. I say finish the car then run it when it perform at the best of its ability. My 2 cents.

I agree with black stampede. Wait till you get the car tuned and wait till you get the longer studs installed. I know you've been waiting and waiting and want to go racing. But you've waited this long, another month will not kill you to get the car tuned. Trust me you will probably be disappointed running the car un-tuned.

DING DING DING we have a winner!!!! Best guess of the night right there.

Honestly I was not expecting to run any record breaking times tonight w/ it not being tuned but I was expecting to do a little better then I did. I only did 2 runs b/c it was aparent that things were not going to get any better at all. Both factors played a role in how crappy the car ran over all. Simple point, Nitto's suck first of all, I hate them. Second, Im leaving a lot of power on the table from my MPG Ive been getting and the strong exhuast smell it has Im pretty sure its runing pig rich so Im sure its down on power. I'll let the #'s speak for themselvs. Nothing to write home about but gives me starting point of where to tune this combo from.

60' ...2.276

330... 6.010

1/8.... 9.011

MPH.... 82.92

1000..... 11.577

1/4..... 13.716

MPH..... 105.63

It was done by a friend for free while the car was on jack stands while he was laying on his back, cut him a little slack.
