Vararam and S2 Throttle Body results

I will say that installing the Vararam was very long. It took about 3 hours with 2 friends. But the results were worth it. I installed the S2 Throttle body as well.

My stock best was 12.34 @ 116 mph.

W/ the Vararam I see 12.01 @ 118.32. Best Trap was 120.17mph.

Darn worth the money!



P.S. So whats the next mods??? I am thinknig G2 Header system.... Do I need a better Catback as well or will stock be fine?

urpow,

Good run.

Where are you running 1/4's at this time of year? The Rock and FMSP are both closed, or so their schedules say.
