Unhappy Went to Byron in Illinois today

Well I didn't feel like putting on the offroad pipes & ran through the cats. Well it certainly hurt my times. My first run was a 13.02 @ 104.7 My second & third were 13.1's @ 104 & 103 mph. That is a solid 2 - 3 mph slower difference than when I run the offroads. It was also very warm for a fall Illinois day. I think the temps were 85 -90ish.... But I still ran faster in this heat before with the offroads on. The car ran 1.84 60's so it still left pretty good..... I need more power............. Maybe I'll try to lighten this bad boy up a little.......... Oh well. Just thought I'd share........

i havent been to cordova since 97 or 98, but to get in the 13's, go during cold weather 65 degrees or colder, and get a higher torque converter if your auto. it helps. and drag radials. that should dip you into 13s.
