That's very fair. Probably cheaper than most. Cam swaps on 6th gen are not cheap. I received several quotes and I think all were 24+ hours labor. I could have done labor myself except cam swap so in my case it made sense to have everything else done as added labor was minimal. Hope this helps.

No new PB unfortunately but as they say 'that's racing'. Car spun hard first two passes. Last pass dropped tire pressure to ~18 PSI. Still spun but I stayed in it until it corrected itself. 60 foot was 2 tenths slower than last Friday but still managed a 9 second pass. This is best MPH car has trapped mostly due to DA and higher blend of ethanol. Power was there all night but after two years these Mickey Thompsons are done. Can't complain about spinning and running a 9.9.



Then on the way home with wife and her stuff in the car again tried another Dragy hit. Still need to do a solo one. Would've probably been a high 5.3 with just me in the car.



Picking up DSS chromoly driveshaft and BMR on-car adjustable control arms today. Will update when new passes are made.

I suppose it's time for an update. Car has been faster despite no added power mods. I did install driveshaft and control arms. Also had alignment done along with new tires. Did 9.71@141 and 9.8@145 at test and tune.





Then decided it was time to test Dragy again but solo at night with good weather. This is fastest time yet. On 9.71 pass it showed 5.48 60-130.



Will update if the car runs any faster. Hoping to get a 9.6x in the quarter just need to make it happen!

Very nice!

Adjustable control arms I would guesstimate allow for pinion angle, what is yours set to?

A lot of times people are tight lipped about pricing. I have no idea why since we're all paying roughly the same price. Basically if you go to a shop that offers a package with install then you're gonna be looking at around $8000 for everything give or take depending on the shop. Personally I think you're better off going with a shop that offers a package and will provide everything as opposed to buying stuff and then taking it all to a different shop. Some shops are a bit more expensive. So you would do well to shop around and get quotes to see who can give you the best deal. When you find a shop then do a quick YT search to see videos of their shop and the cars they put out and the comments. There are a lot of very good places out there. It's just a matter of going with whichever shop you feel most comfortable with.

For the record, if you're gonna spend that much then you might as well cough up a few extra bucks and swap out the blower instead of porting it.

I have the specs on a printout but need to find it. Will upload it.

My page is public so this should work.

Exhaust Note

Went to a track rental this past weekend. No personal best ET but did a personal best 60'. Ran 9.7s twice with one pass being in +1500 DA. Will make a detailed post later this week.

Thanks! I have the SW catback, and hopefully ordering cam and headers this week...haven't heard the combo very much, sounds awesome!
