Two things worth mentioning. Those wheels are VERY heavy. And I'm a pretty large dude. So the cars probably at 4900 lbs.
Heavy wheels can definitely make a difference. Unsperung and rotational weight.

And hey we have to wrk with what we've got I'm no spring chicken either.

I think I'm going to keep an eye out for a set of cheap lighter wheels with a more summer thread. I have Continental Conti4x4Contact tires on it now.

I'll shoot him a message this week. You have to hook up the SCT and do a few runs 0-100, right?
I have a Livernois tune so can't help you with specifics but yeah you need to record the log fine and send it to Torrie to review and send you back a revision. Some people have half a dozen or more revisions to get really dialed in.

If you drive spiritedly normally I would look at DP or other mods first. Nothing wrong with making the car faster at the track but how often do you realistically plan on goin? Additional power mods will be there every day.

Monthly. Good point, but downpipes just seem so dang expensive. I have a tire guy and can get them for next to nothing.
