Takes off .2s in the 1/4 on a stock engine, I don't consider that a waste at all.

What do you do about water issues? Or do you only use them at the track?

Looks familiar.

EDIT: I ran mine daily on both sides, water was never an issue and I drove through a couple of bad storms. Worked great at the track and very well during impromptu runs.

EDIT2: What cone are you running? I had a Spectre with an "open" front, never got to go to the track with it, but it felt better.

Neat. I've been thinking about doing that with my stockers since they started to haze over.
