Hahahhaa
I did the same Dave. A lot of tire spinning on a greasy strip (Carlsbad).
Now it is bogging the vehicle and then run.

Absolutely, the exhaust is one of many mods that will be done to my baby.
I've already done a IP intake and 50mm TB, along with 3923's, 8.5mm MSD
wires, BW cap/rotor and 180 t-stat. I'm also getting a B&G M1 flash next
week (and then of course the M1 as soon as I can). I think I'm going to go
3" throughout, a lot of R/T guys I've talked to have had good luck with
that. Best time with the intake and TB was 15.04 @ 90.05. I think I could
have easily been in the 14's, it was my first time ever at a track, did a
lot of spinning. I think with some more practice I'll be in the 14's and
then with the exhaust and flash I should be solidly in the 14's. After I
get the M1, I think I'll be done for a lil while, need to start saving for
Bernd's twin turbo setup :) Back on the exhaust thread, bigger tips make
the sound deeper, right? I found some pretty nice rolled tips from carriage
works, they have 3" and 4", would the 4" be overkill? :)
