Yea, DetDuke is the person with the fastest supercharged LLT and he did it on the stock pirellis with a lot less mods as well.

As pointed out, V6 owner was using drag radials and the RX kit, and I believe even had some weight reduction in the cabin. Det_Duke ran with stock tires and no other mods.

12.8 for the IPF vs a 12.9 with the RX and tires

Yes the cool weather definitely played a role as it always does, but I firmly believe with stickier tires a mid 12s could have been possible which puts the gap between the two even further. I hope to see a SC'd car get mid to low 12s sometime soon, RX or IPF.

Can't wait to see Gretchen get into the mid to low 11s!

Id do the exhaust. Especially one like the ark dts. Its such a great exhaust. I do love my lowering springs though. The lowering springs are a great cosmetic mod, it changes the whole look of the car. If u dont have a place to push the car, id imagine the sways would just be okay

The inserts made a huge difference. Because it is my only suspension upgrade I saw it night and day, I assume you may not feel as much a difference. The chassis leans less, the ride is stiffer, and the car has in general more stick-to-it-tiveness, haha. No increase in cabin noise either. This changes as you get stiffer inserts such as the HD inserts.

As far as mods, my deal with the fiance is I can buy whatever I want, but it is coming out of my investment account. My strategy was to put in a grand and invest here and there. I made about 560 in the past week. I also have 130 in cash rewards from BofA. What do i get!? lol.

PS I finished at 4:30 am.

How about an exhaust? Or a mace ported manifold. The manifold is still my favorite bolt on mod to date

Well do u want performance or cosmetic?

I'm definitely function over form. I thought about the ported IM! But I feel like I'm pretty close to bbk headers. Been meaning to ask, would just adding HF cats to my stock manifold make a difference?

Yes they will. Thats really the biggest bottleneck in the exhaust. I didnt have money for headers before and even now im skeptical because of the problems some have had but I did cut off my rear cat and it gave me a .1 gain in the 1/4 mile so I can only imagine what some good headers and hfc will do

Alright well then I gotta keep turning some money around for headers. Idk who says investing is difficult. Stick to what you know, I seriously made my money off of Activision the past week. They released their earnings from last year which included Call of Duty Black Ops II, most sold game ever lol.

Want to teach me

I've actually been doing a lot of reading on stock investments and stuff. Seems like a good way to invest if you know what you're doing. Since I don't know what I'm doing yet, I keep making money little by little.

I think headers will definitely benefit you if you want more power.
