Just wondering.

How much time did ya guys drop when you put headers or your cars?

Back in the day, with a stock LT1, besides a CAI, I dropped .2 tenths and gained 2 mph with my MAC headers.

I droped 7 tenths and gained almost 6mph from my pacesetter longtubes and off road Y with a camaroz28 tune and cutout. My car could easily be in the 12's with some traction, current best is 13.2 at 107 with a 2.1 60ft

Yeah when I get mine in I should be dead low 13's BEFORE the stall, N20 and possible cam.

Went 13.8@100 with a 2.2 60
Have E.T. streets and pro stars now to fix that 60.

Headers help a bunch considering LT1's don't breath on the top end.

I ran a 13.89@100 with just a K@N Filter, and a Slowmaster. Stock everything else, and some shitty tires. Alot of people said that there's alot of potential there..so I hope it will be quick...

2.)160 degree stat
3.)Mad z28 Tune
4.) Pacesetter long tube
5.) Off road Y pipe
6.) Electronic cutout
7.) SLP clutch
8.) Airlift air Bag
9.)BMR Adjustable torque Arm set at -3
10.)Throttle body bypass
11.) Cold air intake with K&N filter
12.)Raptor shift light

I have just installed bmr relo brackets. also but havent been back to the track to test yet. As you can see none of my suspension mods have helped me with the 60ft. I was gunna get et streets but my posi is officialy hosed. I finished braking it doing that 2.1 60ft.lol If i got a 1.9 60ft my car would be 12.8-12.9 all day i got enough mph for it and when i stripped my interior i was trapping high 108 almost 109, too bad i couldn't hook anymore. My car is a M6 and ran a 13.9 at 102 when i got it.
