This place is a joke.
Impressive 60ft on street tires!! Looks like your time/mph is right on for your mods. Add/deduct .1 sec and 1mph for every 10F deg. up/down in ambient temps.

Thanks. The last time I ran it was 12.1@116 mph in 91° temp. So I should expect my time to drop more, and mph to increase with the trunk tank?

That is a impressive 60 ft on 19" pss. slight side track, how are those top speed lt's holding up? Didn't know anybody was running them. A friend was asking me about them. They are these correct?

None really. The esp was turned off, car was in sport 1 suspension mode. Tire pressure dropped to 30 psi, rev it up to about ~1000 rpm, and slowly let go the brake, while pushing down the accelerator.

Yes, they are. Just a little leak from the gaskets that goes into the collector pipes. Gat another set to go in this week. Sound is great, especially when changing to lower gears, you can hear the deep tone rumbling sound.

I wonder if you would have trapped higher in that heat with the 84mm blower pulley.

That's my goal. Thanks a lot Hulk. You've inspired me a whole lot about IAT's, and getting cooling in-check. I really don't want to do the trunk tank, but paying close attention to your posts, it changed my concept about installing the trunk tanks.
