hmmm...
I entered the 5 at Via Del Valle...
so what hill are you referring too?
the actual on-ramp?
sounds like I was either already in third or dropped down to it (autostick) and really opened er, cleared the carbon buildup when you heard it...
engine is stock...
high flow cats and cat-back exhaust - both Magnaflow...
dyno'ed at 374 prior to the 2 bolt ons...
dyno'ed at 397 after...
not bad for a 4,300lb 4-door with car seats...
THANKS!!!
appreciate the comments.
And sorry if I was in a hurry, it was well after 7:45 before I hit the road...
Sincerely,

you mentioned the hill just past the track which would have been manchester...
Thanks for the props once again...
and I do remember going up the hill...
I hit it and had one thought about 5 seconds later...
I'm in the wrong "lighting situation"...
(basically blind and not being able to see backwards behind me) to see if anything is coming hard to take advantage of coming up your six in the sun)...
Great job on the Karting event!
I'll have to do that next time around.
Enjoyed the pics and your story line at the end of the thread...
Good stuff!!!
My wife and I really enjoyed checking it out for the first time. Not too many cars were there, but had fun nonetheless.
The Panteras were a treat; a childhood dreamcar of mine!
