First, capitalization and punctuation go a long way.
Second, this is in the wrong forum, and its bordering on hijacking someone else's topic.
Third, if you're only trapping 100 it isn't very quick on the highway.
Forth, stop buying SLP parts.
Fifth, you probably have 3.23 or 2.73 gears if its stock.
Sixth, get a bigger stall, a 2200 will get you laughed at.
Seventh, people have been to the 11's with just bolt ons, but don't count on it.

3" is fine. 2.5" if you are lowered or plan to be. I have great clearance on stock height. No tip toeing over bumps, no scraps, and I pull up my inclined driveway without a problem. I know I definately gained over my ORY setup. Shaved a 10th off my time with all things being equal (my shitty lauch) and I kept trimming some off once I got better. Check my sig for numbers, pics and clips. I just think things should be consistant (same diameter as collectors) and symmetrical (thus duals). Good Luck

so 2.5 would yield me better low end...i would like to keep the low end that i have...the cam already zapped some of it so if 3" is gonna take from it compared to a 2.5 then i may end up going 2.5 instead

well i got my 3" duals yesterday.....some of the best money ive spent. my car sounds like death. the best part about it is that the car is actually a bit quieter and not so obnoxious. the drone is about the same(which isnt bad) and its quiet in the cabin, even with the windows down. I have dumps btw
