Tim you know me. Im a street guy not much of all into the drag hype. Sure 1/4 mile times are nice but I like to know the power as well.

I know you're a street guy but even then if you have 400hp and get beat by a civic pushing 250hp who cares about the total hp? All that matters is you lost....
Sorry for rambling and crapping your thread Chris!

Yeah I'm a street driving guy too... I only go to the track to have measurable real world performance numbers to compare. Then I know what I can and cannot beat. I've been finding out by guess and check till then and have an idea what I'll run.

don't know, i have one sitting here but too lazy and don't feel like effing up the shift mechanism again.
might just sell it and keep the factory shifter.
race me and find out if it matters that it's the original length
it's a "feel" mod, and a very, very minor aid in quicker shifts. i can shift plenty quick enough to snag a good time. a short shifter isn't gonna take more than a tenth off at most.

Hopefully I'll be able to go to the track this month.
Still hesitant, always nervous since the last time at the track was catastrophic. I like to have a lot of extra nest egg money sitting around in case of bad things, and I don't really have too much.
Going to tune everything proper and make sure it's safe. I've got a co-worker with a truck who said he'll bring a tow dolly in case something happens at the track. He'll film it from the outside, and I have a dash cam for interior.
Also, been averaging 22 mpg over the last month or so lol. I drive too spiritedly.

That's still good mileage. That's what my V6 Camaro gives me on a bad day.

Cracked the turbo manifold significantly at a weld at the collector.
(No pic yet, this is just a location point-out on a picture from 2011)
Couple months of hard shifting and wheel hop with nothing supporting the weight of the exhaust will do that, what do you know. No one would help me weld hangers and support. Well, now they will. Turbo manifold will be re-welded at any areas with evidence of cracks, and a support bar or two will be added to it. The exhaust will have multiple hangers holding it up as well, and I hope to have a nice sturdy transmission/engine mount to minimize the amount of movement/flexing.
Fun note: I've beat everything I've raced since the new clutch in June. And I've raced a lot of things. Kept even with a Lamborghini. Once I get closed and settled in with my new house later this month and the car is properly tuned, I'll hit the track probably in October.

Well then. It was fully cracked off, so was my oil drain line. I wanted to redo it anyway.

I have a similar issue in that spot, with a flange there that leaks from the weight of the pipe. And mounting bolts that want to back out from vibration. That's one good reason for a quieter, isolated exhaust lol

That's what I'm getting or less. So a turbo could improve my MPG?

New oil drain to maximize room for v-band.
Added support rods to manifold.
All back together.
Preparing to bend stainless rods for exhaust hangers.
