Ice ran at Cecil, tested the headers :)

Well, after much waiting, I finally got my car to Cecil County Dragway again, and this time, with the S&S Headers bolted up. I'll have pictures of the slips up tonight once i can get a good shot, but it looks like my time on the "Fastest N/A Aleros" sheet will have to be adjusted. :P

I ran with no spare tire or jack, and a little over a half tank of gas. Temperatures were around 55. No wheel spin at all, tires gripped like a dream even with traction control off, and the headers really pull in around 3500+ rpm. My best run of the night was as follows:

R/T: .498
60: 2.149
330: 6.135
1/8: 9.453
MPH: 75.93
1000: 12.314
1/4: 14.748
MPH: 93.04

Very nice time. You gotta change you sign too

I really got to get to Cecil

I actually stopped pulling the spare and jack out, in fact I ran the first race of the season with the WAI. I couldn't believe the difference the CAI makes.

2 days, identical in conditions.

CAI 14.825
WAI 15.454

15.454 was with the jack and spare and a lot of gas, car was 100 lbs overweight, so it should have been a 14.95 with the extra weight

Signature fixed :P. I remember when i first put the CAI on my car, those were the days haha. I had all kinda broken headlight housing in my air tube somehow, so with the CAI on there, it was like waking the factory freak up

.

I'm just sad that there arent any affordable mods from this point on that I can do really. I'm thinking of either getting my PCM reprogrammed at a dnyo, or having one made for me and shipped from MP Racing.

Oh and btw, my second run, my reaction time was .082, so I DO know how to launch now, just didnt nail it the first run, which happened to be my best time.

Nice r/t

No sleeping on the tree for you

Nice run. Glad to see the times for our guys going down.

My Daytona always ran a little quicker at Cecil than at RP, too. If I recall, I think the first 60' is quicker there due to a very slight downslope, and that makes all the difference.
