Stock Regrinded cams GUIDE BULLFROG beleive it or not I picked up about 2mph on the eighth.
ITR injectors again I have not dynoed yet but I picked up more mph a the track consistantly.

I have a couple products on my wall of shame:
1. Grounding wires - given to me, dyno'd, no change. Wonder why?
2. Tornado - some customer came in with it in his car. Spent $50 on it. When I was trying to figure out why his car was down on power, he mentioned he had it. Took it out, gained 5 hp. He left it on my workbench....

DC 4-2-1 junk headers
HKS Hi-Power catback

VAFC, i spent a few hours tuning it and it ended up being like a wholenother car....thing was MEAAAN
14.7 with zero 1st gear traction
DC Headers = Junk
MSD = Junk...had the MSD 6A in made ZERO difference
Iridium Plugs = made some power but never going to buy a set again...price for performance is dumb....50 bux for 1hp, i don't think so!
HKS Exhaust = i'm never going to buy one if i had the chance if you want my opinion
