I don't get it

Looks like I have to schedule my tune prior to the exhaust install and do another run for comparison.
from what i can tell on your list there isnt anything on there that would make your car faster than his, tunes from various tuners seem to add 20-25 HP to our cars.

the mods you have would benefit alot from adding a tune, but from dynos i have seen, without a tune you are gaining in some areas but losing tq or hp in others from the pulleys and other light mods.

also, are your 19's heavy?

I gained 3 RWHP and 13 ft/lbs RWTQ with the mods I have (this is without the RENNtech CF airbox, others have dyno'd after installing the air box and showed an 8-10 RWHP gain which after installing mine I believe to be true.) My 19's with tires are lighter than the stock mono blocks with tires, he is running the monos. I removed the spare, tool kit, and jack, 2nd cats, and resonator which should be good for close to 100 lbs reduction in weight.

I like threads like these. This was fun:


Pulling it up in windows movie maker and trimming it to just the start of the run to the 100mph mark puts it somewhere between 10.14 and 10.34

That's not a 43 cluster, I'm sure he went black to make the whole car black. Man that thing is beautiful and sounds awesome!
