Nice times, especially for that high milage. Get a stall and your 1/4 mile will drop big.

K & N filter gains no power so your bone stock in my book. Nice times for a stock automatic! You're a stall and drag radials away from 12's.

seriously? no gains from a K&N...so why pay the extra money again?

Welcome back to the land of the F-bodies.

Lets take bets to see how fast this car gets into the nines.

Here's some videos from both tracks. Keep in mind that my girlfriend is driving. The guy who hands out timeslips at the 1/8 mile track told her that she was sleeping at the tree, I agreed. She's like 120lbs so that really helps keep the weight down.

This is the 1/8 mile runs at Piedmont dragway.

And the 1/4 at Rockingham.

Jon,

I would not put a stall in a car with that high of mileage. I would say that would do the transmission in for sure.

Not bad times!

I don't really want to. I was thinking more along the lines of stall and tranny at the same time.

Now that is a sound game plan for sure! Proceed with the modding!

Some people pay the money for a K&N because it's reusable. When it gets dirty you just clean it. Personally I just spend the few bucks on paper filters each year so I don't have to clean it.

Many people have dynoed there cars with K&N filters, paper filters and no filter only to have no success. There just isn't any power gains to be had through the filter.

Very interesting.... I'm still paper filter and will be adding a lid soon... but I can't believe a lid and paper filter is equal to a lid and K&N considering the flow differences.... Hmmm

Some people say that a K&N will gain 0-5 HP. But most people who tested on a dyno gained either nothing or just 1-2 rwhp.

My best night at the track I was running 12.31-12.33 with my best being 12.310. As you can imagine I was dying for a 12.29 run. Being that close I figured removing the air filter could put me over the top. You can't outflow no filter at all!

I still ran 12.31-12.33. There just wasn't anything to be gained through the filter. At least not for my car. And even if a K&N filter did gain 1 or 2 rwhp it wouldn't be enough of a gain for me to want to deal with cleaning and oiling the thing on a regular basis. I prefer to buy paper and discard for a new one once a year.

But some people do claim to gain a few hp and don't mind the maintenance. To each his own.
