Ahh, that could be hurting me up top then ,I got those stupid things in there blocking it all up. I know what you are saying about loud though. GMMG and No cats... pretty loud.
If i had to do it over again, I'd leave the stock catback and run a nice cutout system, no cats.

Possible, but knowing how far off the factory tach was in my car compared to my shift light.. I wouldn't trust it.

I had my light set at 6400 last time I ran it, and I noticed that when the light came on for the 1-2 shift, the tach was nowhere near the 6000 mark yet.. so I tried watching the tach one run instead of the shift light, and it hit the 6800 limiter before the tach even got to 6000... so I know mine's a ways off in 1st gear anyway.

I have a shift light in my car, but now with the new motor and everything else, I'm gonna put a tach in it.

Dan, Street nights are useless. Aside from the on 12.2 I ran, I was in the high 12's all night. I wouldn't use it as a good judge for what your car can do. I trapped the 116 on the first run to, the rest were in the 114 area.

I would be in for a WED track rental too... at least while I am still "FUN"employed.

I would L O V E to borrow some slicks though
