How fast is an auto w/ Intake and y-pipe?

Well my car is the complete opposite of "go" but winters just around the corner and off come the 5000lb momo's. I was thinking of putting in a PR CAI and a Cattman y-pipe. Maybe a high flow cat and a b-pipe too. What do you auto max's run with stock rims and these mods? Thanks

I ran that stock at Maxus on a uphill track.

Synki think I can run much faster than I did at Maxus. Everyone was off the pace there. I would give the auto 15.7 stock in the 1/4.

Not entirely.
You'll be like me though, running with bricks at the wheel (16.11 1/4mile uphill track). Intake and y-pipe is good investment for the combined hp gain. Save your money on RT Cat/b-pipe (little to no hp gain there) and get a Greddy catback if anything.

The greddy is just a B-pipe with a different muffler. How is that going to help out more than the RT Cat/ b-pipe combo?
I don't think the muffler effects too much.

Yeah, but it was at Carlsbad, and you know their trap speeds are always a bit screwy...

Usually a good 4th gen w/ a well working tranny will run a 15.4-15.3. Trap speeds from 88mph-90mph.
