I'm 40, but my back is 60.

 

right there, you made me laugh again...

 

Monroe county doesnt have an emission test/check [smell or visual] so you'll pass that test..

 

Im not worried about it at all Just stating for those that want catless but do have emissions.

 

my bad, speed reading again.

This goes to anyone who whats to avoid a $1195 ticket:
if anyone does get a catless/ no muffler setup - check with your state/county emission laws first before purchasing exhaust products, you may get a ticket.. it may be an "State EPA" ticket which could cost a boat load to pay, my brother's ticket was $1195 w/state court feees.. he had a catless DP full 3'' w/ no muffler.. just to think about..

it gets really bad if you cross over state lines, fines could be higher or worst your ride taken or towed awayed..

 

You guys need some lounge lessons, I ran a 13.3 with the Balt when it was completely stuck. Going again this week to test it with my current mods. I guess its all about L2D..

 

What does that have to do with anything? LOL.. I ran similar stock, congrats..

 

Lol Nothing...:-)

 

oh come on...

iirc I've heard about a 13.5, but I seem to recall that even that car was tuned...

are you running at ideal conditions with DA below sea level or something?

you have to at least be tuned for a 13.3...
tires??

I think I read of a 13.7 legitimately bone stock...

I'm not calling BS, but there are many here who post up scoffing at others times becasue what they are able to pull - only to find out that more often than not, they're withholding something...

That's a stellar time, which happens to be a full second on me (then again I'm at 3300 feet, and pulled my 14.3 witha DA of roughly 5k feet);
I believe I have bested any local C-SS's, or C-SRT4's by at least 1/10...

 

now see I could see a 13.7.... I ran a 14.4 at 5800Ft and that was with alot of spin so i can see a 13.7 or so around sea level

 

Oh.. if I only could be be 40 again

 

I believe there was a 13.4 or 13.5 run in the 1/4 mile thread all stock.

 

See, I'm even skeptical of that;

I'd suspect they were doing the old sand-baggin, and either had drag radials, or a tune, or both...

2/10ths on that stellar road test e/t, ok, I could see it, but a half a second faster!?

I have observed as far ar quarter mile racing goes, mst BS, and this seems to be even more common with the FWD crowd...

For example:
The last time I raced a guy who swore he ran 14's, he we running high 16's...
I had one guy in a N-SRT4 which obviously had power adders (ect) - and this guy had the audacity to tell me he was running aprox 200hp... (to bad I knew bone stock they were rated higher than that)
Only arearly have I met FWD guys at the track who were completely honest...

 

I ran 13's with mine totally stock, I really forget what I ran tho lol. I believe it's still on the list in that thread.

 

all I'm getting at is that there's a huge difference between the inarguable 13.9 and 13.3...

seriously, would you ever run w/o being tuned?

considering your rep as a tuner, I would think that would be pretty much beneath you.

 

I ran the car quite a few times before I ever tuned it. I really had no plan to do anything to this car but we all know how that works lol..

 

ok... fair enough!

 

For whoever mentioned the catless smell, that smell, reminds me of my lawnmower engine. Essentially the same smell. I love it, it's not a bad smell at all.

 

Hmm... No mention of the simplest & best, 30 HP LNF mod.
But, only if you have a DP & K&N filter, & of course, tuned for it.

Not available everywhere, but if you can get it, use it.
E47.5 A 50/50 mix of E85 & premium E10

Ethanol with any Forced Induction engine = nice, cheap, HP.
Visit the Buick Grand National forums, 50+ HP gain with just E85

I like this thread... Keep it simple...
The best "bang-for-the-buck", for any LNf car to go 12's at over 110 in the 1/4 mile,
& be such a perfect, powerful Daily-Driver, is so easy....

Two mechanical parts, DP/Filter , for lets say $200
Tanking up with a 50/50 mix, just 2 credit card swipes, unless you have a 'blending' pump.
A tune for the above 2 parts & the 50/50 mix, lets say $300
The smile it puts on your face, priceless.

Any stock LNF car, + $500, in quick/easy/basic mods, & call it a day.

 

^True story! E makes nothing to add other then a diff tune setup and costs no extra really.

 

Are your knees popping with about every step you take? I'm 40 and my knees are 60!

 

Yea if you can find Ethanol somewhere. Here in southern cal its hard to find. At the station near my house its actually more expensive than premium octane 91 which is dumb. Once the E gets more available and comes down in price I'll get a tune for some.

 

I'm on my third knee surgery. They don't pop, but they sure swell a lot. My ankles pop like firecrackers, though. We sound like old men talking about the rheumatiz.

 

I feel ya there. The closest to my house is like 80 miles right now. Im dying to try this **** out myself lol...

 

I have an E-85 pump not two miles from my house. I've never seen E-10, though. Is that regular fuel?
