Pulled trigger on Joe Z intake/Joe Z PTS exhaust w/o cats/ and F-sport filter
Well, I finally decided to do some power mods to the 350. Just ordered the Joe Z intake/catless exhaust, and f-sport air filter.
Current mods are only f-sport springs and f-sport rear sway.
I am going to try to get to a dyno before installing the mods to get a 100% stock baseline, and then will be able to get an exact increase(provided weather etc is close) after mods.
Updates to come soon... hope there are no backorders
Ordered from L-Tuned.
Previous best 1/8th mile time before mods is 8.79@80.3mph. Temp was 80 degrees and I ran full weight, without cooldown, pulling straight into staging lane when we arrived. Hopefully will be able to knock a few tenths off with the mods.
EDIT: Space will be used for dyno charts, videos, etc.

I am considering the PPE's next Might wait until my warranty runs out for those so I dont have to hear it from the dealer
BTW, how do you feel your car has improved? ie.. looking at low 13's or so 1/4 mile vs mids?

Going to a local dyno in the morning to get some stock baseline runs. Will be updating Post #1 with dyno charts, and hopefully videos. Then will go back when the mods are done to see after. Will try to pick a day as close as possible to the temp and humidity as tomorrow.
