Default My latest run... 13.1@107 mph

Slip's attached.

Mods are Vararam CAI, HPT self tune, Ported Intake & TB.

Pretty decent I think for minimal mods.

Need to do exhaust, although I'd like to hit 12s with what I have--I need a launch mod and get the 60' down.

Nice ET. I ran almost the exact same ET and mph this past weekend in Texas. With cooler drier weather, we'll both be in the 12s with minimal mods. Nice!

Yep so close, car was very consistent I had three runs all in the 13.1@107 range.

I am planning on a Corsa exhaust (and headers if I can swing it) in the spring.

Its pretty amazing how these GTs respond to just minimal mods. Low 13s with a tune and CAI is pretty stout.

Not to mention I got 26.4 mpg on the way home from the track.

you should get headers, that exhaust is "retardedly" restrictive

Spray some Pro Blend Hot Lap on those tires and it will go 1.90's 60ft and you'll have your 12....

Nice run!! Wish I had the V8 under my hood at times, but afraid Ill miss the whine of the blower. I'd have to install my cam and my injectors to break into twelves, unless I can find someone to install my 3:69 gears for super cheap. I hate 2:83 gears!!!!

Yep do need to work on the 60', I could easily over power the tires.

I only have a tune, vararam and ported intake/tb, not exactly big time power mods.

Running 13.1 in G8 GT with just Superchips and a filter is pretty darn good..must have had good air, good car or both.
