Impressive....

Good looking car, you picked up some mph on the 11 second pass was the air way better?

The da on the 11.9x passes was around 0 and it was ~1000 on most of the 12.0x's.

That's a good budget exhaust that sounds amazing I bet. Was the LT install hard/take a long time?

Installing the headers is a pretty big job, myself and a buddy did it over a few days working a little at a time. He did the majority of the work.

We had our private rental yesterday and it was my first time out with the 4c, I managed to get some pretty good 60's but my shiftpoints are off. I did a log for the tuner and already received my revision. Here's the fastest et, the car trapped 117.5+ on several of the other passes.

Nice improvement! Who's doing your tuning if you don't mind me asking and what was the weather like? I went yesterday to a local 1/8 track to try my 5c. The prep at this track was crap as usual but since I'm on Nitto 555's I won't complain much. I managed a 1.67 60' and went 7.51@93, hit 94 mph on a 7.60 pass.

The weather was in the 50's with a da in the 1000-1500 range, my phone wouldn't load for some reason but that's what some guys at the track that day said it was. The tuning on my car was done by Mike Rousch. Track prep makes all the difference on the 60's in my opinion.

I have only taken mine to the track one time with the converter so I will just pass along the advice everyone gave me, just experiment with different launch rpms. Mine seemed to do best leaving in the 1500-1800 range.

I love seeing what these auto cars can do. How much did the converteconverter help the overall times?

The da was a lot different between the fastest pass without the converter vs the only track trip with it. With that being said It went 2 tenths faster first time at the track with the converter, it was short shifting 1-2 pretty bad and some on the 2-3 shift. I logged a pass and sent it to the tuner and have the revision loaded and ready. I will be going back to the track tomorrow.
