It has an ARH Y-pipe with the cutout right after. I plan to take JL's advice and drop the y-pipe off of it at the first test and tune in the spring and see what the gains are. Bigger stall, tires, and gears are the other plans

Just an update I did a lot of research on suspension setup and tinkered with some other things over the winter and got a best of 10.88@123 with a 1.47 60'. It's pulling the front tires up about 3 inches and hooking good.
I had it on a scale and it weighs 3340 without me in it.........I'm working on that problem

My question is will the car run lean if I pull the Y-pipe off and run it with open headers at the track? It was tuned through the magnaflow. I'd like to see how much the car picks up before I switch to dumped bullets....Thanks guys

That will lean it out some yes, depending on whether you have it in open loop or not will also determine how much... If the o2's are at all used in your tune you are going to need some extensions off the headers no matter what or the o2's will see outside air and get funny on you...

Best bet is to open loop tune the car so the o2's do absolutely nothing... then tune the wot how you will run it at the track.

6.90@98mph but unfortunately with the added weight of the Roll bar and with the air getting worse the car has slowed down

Which way of tuning would be best for bracket racing? As of now when it gets dark out the car starts picking up a lot.....almost 2 tenths sometimes from what it runs during the day, Is that typical
