Gates open @ 6. I probably won't roll out until 7, but I also have to run by the in-laws in Denton to drop my wife off.

Where is a good place to meet up in the Keller area and what time are most of ya'll heading up?

I might be able to go. My car like crap the last time out. Damn T-56 with its tall *** 1st gear can't get out of the hole very well. But I will but the big and littles on.

All TBSS's come with 20" wheels. There is no 500hp SLP TBSS that I know of. The only TBSS's I know of around that power lever have strokers or are on the bottle and run low 12's - 11's. The only thing I see that SLP offers is a supposed 440hp performance pack that includes catback, 1.8 rockers, 160* t-stat, an air filter, and a handlheld tuner. I don't know about you but seeing how the SLP catback is the same 3" tubing size as stock so it just makes more noise, it comes with a filter instead of a full CAI, and the tune is from a handlheld...that just doesn't add up to 500hp to me.

I'll still run you though. Just keep in mind that I know a stock MR2 is at least .3 sec faster in the 1/4. Due to that you better win.

My best to date in the 1/8th went like this: RT was .1665 60' 2.1751 ET 9.1734 MPH 79.09. Nothing spectacular, but not bad for a SUV that weighs over 5000 lbs.
That run was against a turbo Acura that was catching me on the top end and would have eaten my lunch in the 1/4, but I got through the 1/8th quicker

Well that's not what the side of his truck said had 500hp SLP package emblems. My 60ft. isn't gonna be great b/c I've got bald tires and I dunno if I'll have time to get 'em changed b4 I get back out again. That's a good trap speed for a truck, I don't think the duece will make it that quick.

Ah yes, vinyl HP. I didn't take that into consideration.
On a side note, I don't think SLP even makes headers for the TBSS yet. Kooks, Stainlessworks, and a guy out of Lewisville are the only ones I know of. I'm debating on trying to put the Macs from my Camaro on the TB, but we'll see.

Sounds like we have a run or 3 though. Win or lose, I'm looking forward to it.
