Wrong.

They tear under stock spec cars all the time, do yourself a favor and take care of the torque boxes now rather than doing ten times the work later

Uncorking the exhaust should allow the engine to accelerate alittle faster, especially with that abortion of an exhaust you are running now.

But I heard you need backpressure to close your valves?

Leave the exhaust on and put some slicks on it.

Dont forget a drive sheft loop. Thats in the rules and part of Tech inspection. You run slicks, you have a loop!

Bingo, I've actually never seen a tech guy at any track I've gone to. Pay, and drive to the staging lanes.

really?

They wouldn't let us run one night because of a nitrous blow down tube... yet they will let corvettes run into the tens without a cage. Fuck that shit

A loop is a good idea though.. break and ds yoke and watch it come through the rear seat haha

absolutely, without a doubt. IF you can get it to hook with the bottle you'll be deep in the 11's. I would get a battlebox kit and reinforce the torque boxes.
my brother ripped his out and he was only running 12.90's
