Default Personal Best After S3

Well with all this talk about the ported TB mod, I wanted to share that I had a good night at the strip. I dropped the S3 in yesterday and ran her last night. Now I will admit, I also ran with MT DR's for the first time too, so that helped my ET.

But my trap speeds were the most consistent than ever. I was hitting 119+ all night, and it could have been 120 if not for the 5-7 mph headwind. Third gears pulls like 2nd gear now

Throttle response was improved, and the car pulls down the strip on the top end nicely. Even though my 60's were **** (1.85-1.95), I walked a very modded LT1 and a modded 05 GT past the 1/8th mark. It was funny, I would fall behind 2-3 car lengths, but I totally reeled them in on the second half and crossed the traps 3-4 car lengths ahead of them.

Here are the before and after pics.

I have the same TB. I love mine. I haven't tested it though since I put it on when I did my heads.

Ny normal range is 116-119. That night, all were in the 119's, and 119.61 is my best trap to date. I may have been "shorted" on this night too because of the headwind.
