Back from the Track
Just got back from the track testing out my Steeda CAI and custome 93 tune. Below is my best from tonight and my best from last year (1st time ever).
CAI/tune Stock
R/T .256 .993
60' 2.121 2.224
330 5.883 6.149
1/8 8.946 9.359
MPH 80.29 76.83
1000 11.574 12.105
1/4 13.802 14.471
MPH 100.83 94.46
I really need some tires and suspension parts to help with that 60' time!

RE: Back from the Track
Must be nice to be able to go to a track during the week, out here its only on the weekends [:@]
I can give you a sneak peek as your time progression is eerily similiar to what mine has steadily gone down, gears/dragradials/control arms you should get down to 13.3 at least and 1.960fts, you have better air and 93 octane so maybe even lower, let us know !!
Good luck

I still say CAI is a waste of money other than to impress your less knowlegable friends. My best at Milan last Wed was 13.69 and I run right around there all day. Sorry guys, just my opinion.
PS good job getting the ET down though

Hence,stating that a CAI is a waste of money because your "tune only" S197 ran a 13.69 as compared tothe OP's "CAI + tune"13.80 run is exactly what you say it is....an opinion,and nothing more, simply due tothenumerous variables(which I'm sure you're aware of) that have an effect on 1/4 mile times, e.g., driving experience & talent, track prep, DA, differences ininitial stockengine torques and hp's due to manufacturing and assembling tolerances, etc.

Nice time with just a tune. But did you know that a few bone stock S197 owners have reported running lower times than yours? The lowest time I've seen is in the 13.3-13.4 range. And yes, that's on stock tires.
