Where are these guys getting their "own" programs. Someone is selling "Private Lable" programming. There's nothing wrong with that. I think it's great. Anyone know who wrote Neil's code?

I hear ya brother. Next stop Europipe, wastegate spring kit and an intake plenum. TPC is working and testing a carbon fiber plenum design that looks pretty cool. They are going to run tests to see what specific hp gains are produced. I'll probably wait until spring. It's that time of year again. Winter.

Sharky, you are joking right?
Those items alone are about 140lbs. You were at about 3100lbs.. I have good memory!

No no not in the summer. During the shoot out (remember I have that heavy *** tip) I did get down to 3250 but I had to take all sorts of creature comforts out. I added the roll bar back in and that's what I weighed at the scales heavy ****er! I didn't even have my CF hood at the time because I was waiting for the kevlar gemballa one (took like 4 months!).

I think what Markski wanted to know is what was the weight of your car when you did your best trap speed, and it was 3120lbs or so, based on what you had said earlier on the forum if I am not mistaken?? The EVOMS GT900 with 139mph or 140mph trap speed during the shootout was also on a 31xx lbs car, definitely not stock weight.

In any case weight savings is a legitimate way to improve timed runs so there is nothing wrong with it for sure.

I'll go back and look at the videos but I didn't get my best trap speed of 136 until the day I ran 10.62 etc... That day I really was back to almost normal weight. I know what you mean though, saving weight is an EXCELLENT way of getting some power
