With trying to make a better mouse trap, out think what I know better...

this is sad... (It wasnt worth trying the GT500 tb..., you'll know why shortly)

Ok, here it goes...

First: 12.400 at 110.XX

Why: I got SO caught up in trying to loose weight... I pulled x pipe and axel backs and mufflers off!. (still gotta drive to track... 1hr away....hmmm.... Autozone 25$ glass packs clamped directlty to header collectors for the 1hr drive to track... yes, my ears are still.. EeeeeeEEEeeeeEEEEEEEeeeeeEE!!!!! Had to go 60 - 85 b/c the drone was UNBELIVEALBE...






Ok, you can stop laughting now....

And pulled pass and back seat, jack and spare... lost 2.5 tenths and 2mph!!

I KNOW these motors NEED backpressure... KNOW that... still my dumbass was thinking (loose weight)...

Never again...

End rant/ therapy.

Going to try and make it to Houston Friday 13th (gotta work 6am-6pm Friday and Sat. )... Gonna make the 2 hr drive 1 way make 2 passes and dive back.

Maybe...


YES! Glasspacks... YOU really can stop laughing:D

Just in case you didn't know about needing some backpressure...

And personally <sniff!> I find 12.40 a perfectly acceptable ET!

LOL! Hey, we've lost our groove from last season and need to get back on the ball. Don't sweat it man...

LOL... Too funny bro. You will get it down. John has a good point about the time off. I haven't raced in like 8 months. I ran slower than my last trip out too. I say Seat Time is the answer!!!

BTW, you can run open headers as long as you retune for the loss of back pressure.
