You're close....but no cigar...not yet. You got the power to get there for sure, all that's left is to get out there in some decent air and crank off some high 12s. Good luck!

mr5.7

You put longtubes on the car before a converter? The converter would have given you the biggest bang for the buck and you would be in the low 12 range with a DR.

I had pretty much had the same mods you have ( lid, loudmouth) 13.2 @ 106 2.0 60' and with the converter and nittos, ticked a 12.26 @ 111.7. Longtubes do sound nice though

mr5.7

yea but on my car it sounds like a bfi garbadge truck
i love loud exhaust as much as the next guy but please ppl do not mix SLP loudmouths with long tubes it horrid

Change out your resonator with the borla xr1 or the dynomax one, sounds alot better.

you can run 12s all day in the middle of the summer if you put a converter in that thing

LC2

oh.. and if you do wait till xmas and its ***** off cold like in the 40s you will run a 12:8 or 12:9

actually i dont have resanators they had to be removed for the ory to fit

You mean CATS, you have a resonator (slightly larger in diameter pipe compared to the rest of the exhaust) that piece you can change. I have an ORY also and changed my resonator to the borla xr1.

mr5.7

umm im not sure the guy at the shop told me the ORY i had would not fit my catback so he had to custom a pipe in delete the resonator's
i could care less about 12s now anyway i spent 1k for headlight repairs in LT's in now my headlights are acting up again less then a week after i had replaced the motor

That's odd to replace the whole catback because of an ORY, just do a few tweaks and it will fit.

Headlight motor problems huh? Guessing that you have a firebird, change the plastic gear out for a brass gear and you won't have headlight motor problems anymore. 1K for headlight motor repairs, that's a ripoff and you can do it yourself too, it's pretty easy.

mr5.7

no my bad i did not replace the whole catback just removed resantors in...
it was 1k with evrything LT's install new headlight motor etc.
