Default Finally got some good 1/4 mile times w/VIDS

For the past couple months, I've been stuck running 14.0's and a couple very high 13.9's.

So I got a catless DP to replace my Catted Dp - what a world of difference. I felt the gains instantly.

Went to the track last night, had some good runs

First run, TCS kicks in at about the 60 foot, still runs good

60 2.19
1/8 - 8.94 @ 80
1/4 - 13.73 @ 100

My previous best was 13.94 @ 98, so I'm happy in the pants

Second run was my best
60 - 2.11
1/8 - 8.75 @ 80
1/4 - 13.53 @ 101

I couldn't believe the difference. I had pretty good conditions last night, high 50's, low humidity. I ran 13.9 a couple times this months in the same conditions though.

My last run was the best trap

60- 2.10
1/8 - 8.81
1/4 - 13.63 @ 102

Too bad I can't spend more on this car, it'd make a great sleeper! I'll settle to put the wife in a solid 13 second car to haul the kid in lol.

yeah, I ran on my 255/50/16 BFG Drag Radials. They aren't the best DR's I've had, but they do the job well enough!

Your videos prompted me to look back at some of mine and I forgot all about these dominate trap speeds I was getting here.

Unfortuneatly since then I can only muster 100 MPH traps for some reason.

Will the catless dp throw any codes?
Do you recommend the bolt on or boltless?
What kind of hp gains can I expect?

Thanks

Catless will throw codes without a tune. Bolt-on is much easier to install and will leave your factory setup intact if you ever needed to go back. I would estimate around 5 H.P. gain or so depending on additional mods. Obviously with a freer flowing intake or forced induction the gains would be much higher.

That setup on a Titan should be anywhere from lower-mid 15's and trapping 87-89mph.

There was two Titans, one customer from my job, both of which had bolt ons - one hit mid 14's and the other ran a higher 14's, both trapping around 93mph.

They have some mods available for 'em, there's two on Titan forums hitting high 12's, one N/A and one nitrous.
