best 60 I've had

Crap man you dropped almost .2 off your 1/4 mile time by adding these.

Great results, but not something I'd ever be able to use due to the noise - I'll see what I can kind of performance I can gain while keeping somewhat of an audible lid on it.

Glad it works well for you, though!

19 degrees lol. yes I used LC touch of spin going in to 2nd thought it was gonna ruin the run. I only did the 1 run I was happy with the number and didnt want to press my luck. Would love another try with less and better fuel.

jb4 map 2 straight 93 just added cut outs, no intakes no intercooler or blow offs nothing fancy here.

What ??? So you are telling me that you ran 11.9 seconds on just a JB4 on map2 and cutouts ?? No disrespect to you but that is defying the laws of gravity .... 2 things at play here wether that draggy is really not accurate and is boosting your time beyond real world examples like at the track or your stinger is special one of a kind .... I ran 12.5 was my best on map 2 , intakes , downpipes and muffler deletes ....now that time was at an actual track .... I know people with full boltons barely reaching the 11,s .....It seems like all I need to do is to get a draggy lol to get into the 11’s I don’t know why I’m spending money on performance mods , seems like that draggy is adding 100 hp easy lol .... congrats on your time but I need to see that time at an actual strip and I will beleive it .... I am speechless ....

That temp surely played a big role, as did bypassing the secondary cats and catback.

I'd be interested to see closed vs open time on the same day and same stretch of road to better understand how much to attribute to the exhaust mod and how much to the low temp.

Congrats on 11s!

Remember the draggy allows up to a .99 slope to be consider as a recorded run. That helps a bit, but sell your exhaust get some cutouts lol jk. I have a draggy if you want to use it. I honestly havent even set it up yet, but would be fun to record some times.

Remember the cutouts pour out just after the primaries, this is going to help quite a bit with times.

One could probably find a nice hill, hold the dragy down low in the car, and raise it higher throughout the run. Possibly turn a 1.5 slope into a <.99.

I do agree. thats why i havent opened mine yet lol. I think times can be tricked or someone can find a nice .99 slope and know how to work the dragy like you said. I dont want to get sucked into the hype.

I do think its a nice novelty gift and will use it one day.

you'll figure it out. Dragy is quite accurate proven on the track vs track recorded time.
I suspect what really helping here is the air temp. Jb4 and a less restrictive exhaust is all I have and apparently all that's needed. Too many add ons open too many doors to something not playing nice with something else. I find map 2 for me has yielded the best results. My car ran 12.59 on a hot humid day with map 3 which was falling on its face top of 3rd gear. jb4 borla

Remember as it gets warmer out the times may not be as good. Its beautiful out, wet, but something like this Friday night when it will be in the mid 20s and should be dry out would be an ideal time for you to run a few with it.

what's stopping you from setting it up. It's a measuring stick at the very least. Install is about as easy as it gets download the app and press connect.

Honestly, I havent set up for a few reasons.

1. not tuned yet
2. i dont want me to get comfortable using the dragy over a track when track times open up.
3. I have to many projects on my stinger im working on. Its going to be a big summer for a lot of us!
