Did my first test drive with the new setup on the rear and man this gave the car a different personality I didn’t know it had! I almost hook in first gear maybe the tires need to warm up some more but man all other gears hooks and books! I like this new found traction. I’m curious to see how well my times would be 60-130 and 0-60

I've been procrastinating on if I need BMR suspension or not. Zach from Katech recommended me to do these upgrades to increase the driving dynamics of the car so I decided to jump ahead and get it. Caught a coupon code to get 10% off parts so why not. (Not sure why the pic is sideways but you get the idea)
Upgrading the upper and lower trailing arms, control arms and cradle lockout. I was encourage to get lowering springs but I'll do that down the road. Arizona has too many dips for me I be cautious on bottoming out.

Finally got a chance to weigh my car today at a Cat Scale. I was also curious how much my car sits without me in.
So far when I weighed it: It had about 10lbs of misc. stuff but besides that the car was majority empty inside with a quarter tank, no passenger or rear seats with 19in apex wheels weighing about 51lbs each. Very pleased with it. I am v6 1LE damn near. so I am sitting at 3550 ![]()

I just the 1/2 mile airstrip last weekend and it was fun! I learned a lot about my car and how well it’s setup. My car did 150.8 on street tires. The car could easily do 151/2 if I didn’t spin in first and partial second gear. Any way based on how my car was running I was hanging with C8’s. So I feel good how it stacked up.

Well the time has come that I will finally switch over from the LT2 to the MSD and Soler Performance 103 TB. For a few reasons, I am getting tired of the eye sore of the LT2 every time I pop the hood and I'm getting tired of cleaning it, The second reason is maximizing the potential of my setup which allows me to run a bigger throttle body for heads and cam. And third, the price($800 was a no brainer since the car it was previously on got shipped to GPI and going high ram and SS4. At the end of the day The LT2 is no slouch and I would recommend it since showed gains as you can see above at a 1/2 mile and dyne numbers. Just tired of the nuisance as mentioned above and just want a clean look.

It's most definitely is. LT2 was good while it lasted but for M6 cars we need all the top end we can get. I believe the A10 can utilize the LT2 better.

Finally got the MSD/103 installed and the car sounds wayy better with this setup than the LT2 and stock ported tb! I can definitely tell and feel the car is getting more air now!
