Python Tubes and Spintbooster are a good combo

For Christmas I bought myself a set of Python tubes and a sprint booster. Together they are mayhem on the tires. On stock P2s this afternoon I drove to Carolina Dragway and hot off the street without cool down ran a 12:18 at 115mph with a full tank of gas. I got greedy and let her cool down and blew the tires off twice with crappy times of 12:45 and 13:00. I'm taking her back next thursday night on Derek's hand me down drag radials. I am sure she'll run a strong high 11 second pass. I've done it before without these parts, but I can feel a lot more power to the ground.

The python tubes are larger in volume than the OEM tubes as is the airbox. Basically, you have easy air at launch.

Merry Belated Christmas!!!!

Glad you like it!.. The Pythons & airbox together with an 80mm TB is what you need to remove the intake restrictions on these motors.

MafiosoCLS55 noticed big power changes with tubes & airbox on his otherwise stock car.

Looking forward to the track results.
