I know i could have definately got in the 10's that day if it wasnt for the head wind.

You think a 10mph head wind was costing you 4 tenths?

Considering I left a 1.89 60 foot which sucks and a 10 mph head wind, absolutely!

If i was to run say a 1.7 or 1.6 60 foot and no head wind id be 10.9 all day long. I was also running a 275/40/17 tire too and doing 100.3 mph in the 8th.

My buddy on the pass right before me in his Z ran a 11.13 @ 123 with a 1.68 60 foot hitting 99 in the 8th. So yes all day long we would have both been into the 10.9's if not lower. Once again see what the head wind was doing to our mph.

Thumbs up! You did a fantastic job at putting all these links together! How long did this take you by the way?

My video is under the B&B Fusion with Headers/Cam section (StreetFire)!

Thanks, it probably took me about two hours. Your video is one of my favorites, your car sounds great!

Sweet sounding setup.

How did you run the straight exhaust? Does it come all the way back?

Yep, all the way out the back. It was a set of Billy Boat Bullets that had the muffler cans removed and stainless pipe welded back in. It was insanely obnoxious and just plain loud!

I just got done putting the factory pipes with the muffler mod back on and now I can put away the earplugs and the Mrs will ride with me again!
