That’s impressive, 2 mods and you’re in the 11s. Guess I need to take a look at that intake setup.

I think I was running 12.2-12.3 stock
so it’s all about comparison stock vs mods.
I’ll go back and look at my numbers
the jb4 is performing on this car my ‘19 was minimal gain

I’m in CT. Only mod so far is the JB4, map 3. I have a C400, so starting with a bit less power than the C43.

I don’t have a dragy, so no idea where I’m at today or stock. I think it’s low 13s stock.

If u wanna know what ur getting from the mods get a dragy, I think I got it under for under $200.
but if u just want to feel the power increase then u can switch from map 1 to map 3 and feel the increase.
I very rarely get to line up at a light, or private track (lol) and run against another car
but I just wanted to know especially after the poor performance I saw with the Jb4 on my ‘19

Yeah, at some point I’ll probably get one. I got an old school Gtech! Debating the next mod, I see mixed reviews on most of the intakes, and not sure I’m up for the price of catted downpipes.

I was able to run an 11.8 in my 2019, pretty happy with the results considering I’ve only got a jb4 installed running on map 3, not to mention I’m still on stock tires. I love this car!!
