Default Here are my Hooker LT gains!

Went to the track last night. Had on bfg drag radials. Could not get traction because the track
I went to sucks.My first run was a
60ft: 1.83(spinning) previous best was 1.65
1/8: 8.09 previous was 7.78
1/4: 12.50 @ 113 previous was 12.20 @ 110
So I spun pretty bad but picked up 3 MPH!
Next run was:
60ft: 1.76 (spinning)
1/8: 7.82
1/4: 12.19 @ 113
I wish I took the ET Streets I probably would have hit 11's.
Ooh by the way I raced a 2000 viper RT/10
he ran:
60ft: 2.09
1/8: 8.08
1/4: 12.19 @ 120.25
Man he blew by me at the finish line! <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Your before and after 1/8 mile speeds would be helpful but i think its safe to say youll pick up mph with real traction.NOt a bad gain in my opinion.

Madcow, how about answering the question, is that with ORP or with cats, and did you pick up 3mph over stock exhaust or did you have shorties?

3mph? I could definitely use that! Headers look like they're going to be my next mod. <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

1/8mi. mph was:87.04 now:89.02
I am running a 2 3/4in. y-pipe with no cats.
I fab'ed the y-pipe out of two 95 Z28 factory catbacks(stainless). I was originally going to run duals but I kind of gave up on that idea since I didn't have a lift. It was hard enough doing the y-pipe. I should be going back to the track this weekend with ET Streets. Then I should know what I really gained. 11's?! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

3 mph gain is a good gain from headers. Are you running an ORP or cats?
