When speaking about reading comprehension you need to look at the WHOLE picture buddy. Not just 2/3rd of it. I'll spell it out for you, big guy.
Poppa said he left it in "D" for the first 2 races but manually down shifted to 2nd for the last race. The last race is also the race that Mappins did not jump. So what you are claiming, when you say Marc would run a bigger train on Mappins than Poppa did, is that Marc would pull harder than Poppa did in the final race (the one that Poppa put it in 2nd before the honking).
Good attempt though buddy. Just remember to look at all the facts next time.

Wow hammah. I am FBO now? You LS guys would gnash teeth if i was FBO.
Stock intake manifold, stock airbox/filter, stock exhaust manifolds, still have cats. I assume that FBO would be the following:
Boss/CJ/GT350 IM, CAI, LT Headers, Cat delete. Maybe a stall. Would probably run right there with yours and Hio's "simple bolt on 3000lb LS cars" then, huh?

And they know it would be the truth too. And I would do it at my current 3800+ lb raceweight, along with my feminine powerband. Hell, a stall alone would give me another .4-.5... nevermind the other mods.

Do you know the weight difference from your stock wheels to the Dark Stars?

The sad fact is Poppa would probably gain more power from deleting his resonators and replacing them with straight pipes than he gained from his flex fuel e85 tune that is so commonly talked about

Like I said though, he would literally gain more if he just deleted his resonators and replaced them with straight pipes over the catback.
Lots of gains to be had on Poppa's car with minimal changes. Deleting resonators, cat deletes, headers, stall, intake manifold, cai, etc etc

That being said, the gain isn't much at all, but still more than any other NA V8 platform I've seen gain from a catback.

When speaking strictly about cat back systems only, there are only minimal gains on pretty much all cars. 5 rwhp would be generous imo. Once you start installing headers and taking out cats and resonators on top of the catback, then you start getting decent gains.
The exhaust components should be thought out as a whole system. People just changing out mufflers or cat back are usually just looking for better sound. Imo

IIRC, poppa changed out the catback due to the stock exhaust sound. If anything, he gained the advertised 3whp and a little bit of weight loss on the car from the catback switch. My stock axle back setup alone is 42lbs.
That's the same reason I bought headers and orx so quickly. Sound. So dead quiet stock. I still need to add a catback and delete the resonators with straight pipes on my OTA pipes
