They hold up just fine...I was up to 125MPH today @ our VIR event...camera still stuck to car

Amy...i think they make a clamp attachment...try lifting your headrest and using those posts to hold it in place, then just point the camera at the dash

Looks like a nice mount.

Thanks. I was thinking of building something like that. My reservation is that it doesn't look crash-safe, particularly for the passenger.

Is that the same car that beat me...Stupid no traction, stock shifter crap...LOL
Yeah and he's much faster now too. His car is a beast and makes me miss mine. He's adding a stall this weekend, so it's going to be going low 11's.

I think I'm good for the low 11's with street tires, faster if I were to use DR's. When it warms up I think I'll be able to hook up the street tires.

Not really with those all seasons you have. I don't see you hooking well at all.

I hope you can. With hooking and good shifting I think you can get to the high 10's.

That's what I'm trying for. I think that would be pretty frick'n cool, low 11 or 10.99 on street tires. The only reason I think I'll be able to hook better will be warmer weather and the loss of some low end torque after the LT install. We'll see.

I don't see how you lost low end torque with the headers. It will be interesting to see!

It's normal to loose some low end with long tubes...I know I gained HP and everything up top. I'm putting it on the Dyno at the April Fundraiser...We'll find out then.

EDIT: And if I didn't loose low end torque then the LT made it easier to manage.
