Default To run stock or not?

I was going to run the magnum a few times all stock just to see if I could go high 12stock. But I already ordered a C&L cai, and a predator. I did not think it was going to get here before the weekend but it came in today. Should I install it and go to the track or go stock first. I think that I'am going to install them but what should I do?

Run that **** stock first man. Get some baseline runs so you can see how much the mods help. Just take the CAI and tuner to the track with you, make a few stock passes, then install the intake and tune while the car is cooling down. Jmo.

If I was going to a full day of test and tune i would do just that. But I am only go to be able to go for about 2-3hours this week so that could be 2 passes it could be 6don't know. But I like your idea.

run stock. Why not, would be cool to see what your actual baseline is. Once you start modding you will never have this opportunity again.

You can de-mod and then run one day, and then put the mods back on, LOL. Stupid I know, but I'm sure someone has done it.

Agreed! Also it would be interesting to see what someone with drag race experience could run in one of those things. If you can run 12 anything bone stock You'll make my list of badass drivers.
