hard tellin... what cam?

I'ld either lose the cats all together or get some high flow cats. the hollowed out cats cause some weird swirling in the exhaust charge which is not beneficial.

these questions are pointless because nobody knows, we dont know how you drive or how your car runs

i told u my stock 1/8 mile drag times. think about it. 9.5 @74mph with bogging launches in a convert. i hear thats not bad for a stock convert. that should let u know how i drive my car.
