Well I .......

Just bought my Ingen intake, Cobalt Addiction shorty header, and XTC 2.5 down pipe with no cat. Next week I am hoping to get my exhaust done, and also buy my Eibach's. I am hoping with all these and my HP tune I can break into the 14's.

Very nice. To be honest I'm incredinly excited about this big news from Hahn - but at the same time I am nervous about losing the warranty... it is a GM for God's sake.

In my advantage, I'll like be able to pay off the car and buy the turbo kit here in about 9 months, I figure if the car is paid for and I have a major problem I'll be able to afford to fix it..

sweet. I have the CA header and the XTC 2.5" de-cat downpipe on my SS. It works well, but the downpipe sounds somewhat airey for some reason.........kinda annoying b/c it makes you think your exhaust is always leaking. I've heard ZZP's downpipe does the same thing though too........hmmm....

Also, that downpipe is gonna make your car throw mad CEL's. My car runs like ass right now, but once I get it tuned w/ HP Tuners and throw on the SS/SC injectors this Thur, she 'oughta be back with a bang!

I ran a 15.001 with my mods. Intake and vector tune at 8000 miles on the car. I don't see why he can't get 14s.

No you're not. You're running an 1/8th mile time and then using ricer-conversion to estimate a 1/4 mile time. Totally inaccurate.

OMG. Until you have a timeslip, you don't have a 1/4 mile time. Gauges, conversions, stopwatches, or sundials won't cut it. Don't you understand that???

Put it this way... there is no way that you ran a better 1/4 mile time than ANYONE has posted on this site when you were running on the street rather than a prepped track like everyone else that has posted their times on here. I call BS on your 14.8 from the gauge.
