Thanks, but in my initial post I wrote that I have Slicks. Just bought a set of Weld Draglights 15x3.5 in the front and 15x8 in the rear with E.T. Streets last week.

Well lets see, I instaled the Flowmaster Y-pipe and 3" Exahust from the Y-pipe to the cut-out and I picked up 15 RWHP and 15 RWTQ. I would say that "crappy" Y-pipe did alright for $29.

I dont want to "redo" anything that I have already done, I did my mods for a reason. Im looking to knock off some E.T. time with the $600.

A Hotcam is $175.00. I was thinking of a bigger cam like the XE 224/230 or 230/236 on a 112 LSA. I would still have a little money to burn after that.
