I have a restriction in my GMMG.... the i-pipe was changed because it was to loud after i put in the headers. Anyway before cam 307 HP after 342 HP with and A4, Don thinks i'm losing 20+ HP through that i-pipe, so looking to fix that. But as every one knows A4's with a stall (not dyno queens) will cause alot of parrasitic loss and it's more important on the track....... on Slowhawks dyno 1/4 run 1.7 60 ft. 12.2 @ 109 MPH and since it's a 99.9% street machine i asked Don to tune it more for pleasure then Strip use

Good call, nothing like a fun street car. Numbers are just numbers.

Your almost exactly where I am with my cam from Slowhawk and i have similar mods. Big stall with the lvl 2 auto will hurt your #'s. Mine put down 349/352 but is nasty fast driving around. Feels like with a good tire it would be a high 11 second car. Anyway get that exhaust straightened out and put some miles on it and enjoy.

LOL it is loud isn't it.

What did you do put a bullet muffler in the i-pipe? It shouldn't loose to much power. What size headers? I thought the GMMG with LT's and cats sounded great. Without cats it's pretty loud, but I gained 1mph at the track without them

Yeah you can't base it all on dyno numbers on stalled autos. The car will move out, believe me.

The Small Cam gained almost 40hp but going over the graph show's me an exhaust restriction.The I-pipe is crimped like the catback is.I wanted to run open Y-pipe but didn't have time before it was picked up.

That's because i was to excited to get the car Maybe i'll bring it back down when he does the dyno day with a new i-pipe Still love how the car drive and sounds...i think i'll bring it to NED before the year is done.
