    Even though I lost first round...my ET improved over 4 tenths and I picked up 6 MPH!

    I recently took off my exhaust and am getting ready to install a 3" x-pipe system. I couln't resist the temptation to take the car out with open headers. I had long suspected that the old exhaust system was restricting the car...I guess it was! My previous best ET was 12.80 @ 104. Here's what it ran today:

    1st Pass 12.51 @ 109 (spun)
    2nd Pass 12.41 @ 110 (feathered it off the line)
    3rd pass 12.38 @ 110 (feathered it again)

    I can hardly wait to get some better back tires, the Drag Radials just don't work and I'm not smart enough to sort out the suspension :)

    The car is the one in my sig 70 Skylark, 455 TH400 3:42 posi. I bought this car one year ago...it continues to please!!!!
