ok i'll run it down
best ever so far(FULL WEIGHT) 12.839@107.42
1LE elbow, MAF ends, 52mm tb 12.739@108.25est
Meziere EWP 12.639@109.25est
remove all seats expt, driver, 12.589@109.75
remove splash guard for cai 12.539@110.25
skinnies 12.439@111.00
M/T Streets(assuming 1.65 60') 12.130@112.00
PPC long tubes 11.930@113.50
Professional dyno tune 11.800@114+
This would be assuming not many variables as far as track prep, driver error, weather etc.
My driving skill is pretty damn good I must say, compared to 99% of the times I see in sigs, and also the MANY victims on the street.
I race almost exclusively at Atco raceway. Which for the most part is prett damn good for good times. I can be extremely consistent(last time at track these are my 60's for 5 runs in a row were1.884, 1.863, 1.851, 1.859, and 1.856. These were on 17" DR;s with NO line lock!. This was also hot lapping the car(although it was pretty cold out, around 40 degrees).I powershifft every gear at 5700 and go threw the traps right around 5800. My car is set up pretty good.
Well I guess all I can say is seeingi s believing. I'll let you guys know in a few weeks.Hopefully my headers get here sooner.
By the way, if anyone is interested,once I install my PPC's I will be removing my Borla 2 3/4" SS y pipe including 3" Morflow cat. Pretty nice setup and good alternative to headers.

Its ok to dream, even Mr. Luther King had a dream. You cant go by your little est.'s there. Hopefully you will run great but there are to many variables to say you will this or this mod will add that much hp. Computer tuning really doenst do a whole lot to stock heads/cam'd cars. You will gain some but nothing major. Good luck either way. Let us know your your GUESSTIMATES were right!

Yea I know they are guestimates, its just bench racing. I fully plan to go to the track and find out what she'll do. To be honest with you, some of my previous guestimates were pesamistic(sp). Thanks for the good luck. As long as I can get some good weather I think I'll have atleast a shot at the 11's. Thats my main objective. Everything else will come in perfect conditions and just be gravy. I'll need some good weather (60 degrees or less) And a mean Hook. My suspension is all Spohn and Hotchkiss so I should be pretty good there. And if my origional! clutch doesnt hold up, just gives me a reason to instal a SPEC Stage 3 w/ billet steel flywheel
Mods are fun.

Are you going to get 4.10's put in your car? Stock 3.42s, stock internals... And MT's don't mix together too well. Unless you like launching off the rev limiter only to bog as soon as you start to move.
Been there, done that.

I'll still take a 1/2 tenth if thats all its worth. It all adds up
