oh gt takeoffs, gotcha. I was hoping to get mine to the track before any new mods, but since it started snowing here today...idk. The nearest one is in NH, so I'm hoping for a warm friday so I can make a couple of passes.

damn 11's...after my 8.8 3.73's and intake spacer hoping for 16's maybee 15's. In the spring I'm going to get an udp, driveshaft, and hopefully some fresh rubber and by then I'm hoping to be in the 14's. Not sure where I'm going after that.

sounds like you need a driver mod, with a tune up/intake and LONG tubes with a full 2.5" cat back only i gained over a second and added 4 mph to my trap speed

what did you trap after you took the cats off? a 90 mph trap is good enough for high 14s with a good driver
