Next number will happen at the track. Laynlo ran 10,8 at 129.9 with the same build. I figure to be a couple hundred pounds more so will be a little slower...but that should be a reasonable reference point.

Referring to your upgrade -stainlessworks axleback exhaust (RDP Store)

What are the reasons for the exhaust change? What do you gain for the $1000? Is it weight, hp, or just sounds better?

The axle back is around $650. For me, that mod cosmetic and sound...

I think the stock exhaust looks cheap and sounds tin-y.

The massive stainlessworks tips look mean and really nice if you keep them clean (I do). The sound is better...but not loud. At idle, I would say it’s just about like stock, but a deeper tone. At WOT, it is louder. I am also considering the cutouts so I can make it loud when I want (without my wife).

Got it, makes sense. Especially the wife thing. Thanks.
