But I do want to beat me some SS. Thoughts?

Relearn your launch. What tires are you using?

Think initially yes ... but you will learn and adapt.
By example, I lowered mine and immediately got more traction and wheel spin :-O but I'm avoiding wheel spin now :-)
I think your mpg may plummet tho!

It is not my daily driver any more so I could care less about MPG.

My launch didn't change that much when I got headers. The only difference is now i lower the rear tire psi to 30 and that had gotten me better 60ft. Will see how I have to change my launch once I get my drag radials on.

Those are decent tires. You should be okay. Lowering the psi a bit will help

Have you tried lowering the PSI a little more out of curiosity?

Gotcha, do you know how much weight you will loose by running the radials instead of your TSWs?

0lbs....wheels are 2lbs heavier and tires are 2lbs lighter.

T-minus 5 days till I get my car back, finally!

I broke down and took it out of the garage today for a drive. It's running fine but I have a CEL I am guessing it's from the car not starting for 4 months. I just picked up an OBD device off Amazon and the Torque app for my Galaxy S4 today so I can see what the code is and maybe reset it. I just need to go into the garage and pair it up.

Did you pull the battery or have it on a tender? Seeing that your not heavily modified I don't see why you would get a code either way. My guess is the code is with the Evap system.
