Get a ram air kit on it and leave the 26's on there, it'll go 10s.

Stock shocks? Get some comp eng's on the back of that thing at the minimum and get those 60s down.

Well built.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I have future plans for it, just undecided on what the next round of mods will be.

Agreed on the ram air. SSRA or a Chris1313 and you should be in the 10s or very close. SSRA is $160 and takes 30 minutes at the most to install. You'll pick up a mph or two as well. I didn't see anything listed in the original post so I don't know if he's already got one.

The list of parts done to the car is accurate. If it's not listed, the car doesn't haven't it or it's not removed. I've thought about a ram air system, it might be in the next round of mods. I have some thoughts on what I would like to do next and I'm in no hurry to rush it, I'm enjoying dialing the car in a little at a time.

Ok, That's what I figured. I know everyone says to run 1/4 tank of fuel but for my car that doesn't work. If I run 1/4 tank my car will actually lean out after the 1/8 mark. This was confirmed with a wideband and a go pro recording it. As soon as I made a pass with 1/3 tank it stopped doing this and ran .1 faster even with the extra weight from the added fuel. Do you have a wideband in the car?

Intresting, I wonder if the fuel bucket is really starving the pump because it's so low.

I'm running an aem uego in my car.

I'm not sure why this is, but I do know that it wasn't an issue when I was running 12.0. It's just something to look at the next time you go to the track.
