My configuration is not a hodgepodge. FVD has tested the components I have together as a unit and they no doubt tested against the stock manifold and wouldn't be selling the entire package if the stock manifold worked better. If you think FVD is selling snake oil, feel free to contact them and chastise them for it.
Here is what I am doing.
1.) I contacted ATXAutosport to have them reach out to Cobb and get me an Accessport.
2.) I plan to have them disable my FVD piggyback and I will install the Cobb tune to see how it works with my three bolt-ons.
3.) If I can get that done this week, I will be taking the car to SA Friday night for some test and tune and I will post my slips.
4.) If the results are promising, I may get a pro-tune from Cobb here in Austin if I can convince them to do it since this is mostly a development center.

In the end I decided to switch my exhaust to Tubi catless. Should be installed tomorrow. Didn't want to leave 10 wheel hp and 35 wheel torque on the table. Keeping my Europipe if I decide that my neighbors or I cannot live with the extra noise of the Catless. EP is such a great exhaust and so well made. Not an easy decision at all. If I find that I just can't live with the extra noise I will put my EP back on and part out the Tubi catless

Of course even on the same Dino with the same odds different cars can produce different numbers so what's most important to me is the deviation that my car shows between the europipe and the Tubi catless. My understanding is with the catless exhaust they are more aggressive on the tune because they don't have to worry about exhaust gas temperature frying the cats. And that the result of this is a large increase in wheel torque and some increase in wheel horsepower.
But only the dyno will tell for sure.

So what kind of times do you expect at Atco? I would be looking for sub 10.5 in ET with the PSS and 135+ trap all night assuming you use race gas.

I will be using MS109. I have a nice little stash at home just waiting. I will be severely disappointed if ETs are not below 10.5. I would love to see low tens. The limiting factor that will be my tires. Just not sure I want to plunk down two thousand bucks for a set of r compound tires to do an event or two that I would not use on my car otherwise.
