well this wasnt a very good first experience at the track for me...On the way there i somehow got a crack in my flex pipe and when we got there u could hear a major exhaust leak when u get on the throttle so when i did my first race i got a great launch no wheelhop or spin.. but when i got to the top of the gear it felt like i was losing so much power and i ended up running a 16 flat!!!!!!!! ... i had no top end....so it looks like a trip to dealership monday to see if its covered under warranty

IM SO PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

haha, nice runs...sucks, man. my car felt like A DOG when i had a hole up there...

 

I dont think anyones first trip to the track is a good one. I know mine wasnt. But you just gotta go back and hit it again. (after your flex gets replaced/fixed)

 

dang man. that blows, hope its covered

 

damn i think my stock ls could outrun that

 

I know i was so pissed!!!!!!!!

woulda been a nice run if my car was working right

and i think the timing was off with the computer cuz of the leak...i dunno

 

what kind of flex pipe?

 

it should be a stock flex pipe...

 

damn, that sucks, should be covered if under 3/36; incase anyone cares, 2005 dodge ram 1500 single cab short box with cold air at 50 degrees runs a 15.3

 

yea i wanted to see what your runs, there's always next time

 

x2 on that i really wanted to see if i could get a 13.. did u hear my car???

 

no i wasn't around when you got there, and was in line when you ran. do you have a smaller drag strip closer to you.

 

there's a 1/4 mile drag strip in rusk about 40 miles or so away

 

that's cool, when you get it all healthy run it down a few times and post the times. hopefully we'll do a dyno in the near future.

 

yea my step dad is gonna take his bike down there also and run it down the track....i would love to see what my car dyno's at

 

but then again if you were loosing out on alot of horse power and tq.. maybe thats why u got a great launch.. just a thought.

 

yea maybe...damn way to ruin my confidence lol

 

are there any aftermarket flex pipes that will make a difference in horsepower?? or sound

 

yea i had an exhaust leak last week it suck u can feel the lost of power at higher rpms it sucks and it sounds so horrible i got it fixed for free..."my downpipe got disconnected..bolts came off and was lose and didnt connect to cat coverter..so i guess people are right about the zzp bolts...cheap...but good products though

 

 

but the wierd thing is, is that it felt normal until about 5000RPM then u could feel the power going DOwn.........

looks like this is what i need
