first time at track weds

Yea alls I have done is a ebay Intake i geuss its a RAI or HAI idk how to classify it. Also I have a tranny or i think a torque converter problem but none the less very consecutive runs.

runs from first to last
15.8
16.0
16.0
16.0
15.9
16.0

I guess if I want to live forever I can just drive this thing lol

and i didn't burn out or nothing i just dodged the water staged and ran

didn't think i would need any of that anyways.

Does anyone think a Warpspeed Y-Pipe would make a noticeable gain in hp and ET

15.8 is normal for a stock auto. The intake alone wont do much for you but once you get a ypipe it will definatly make a big difference.

yea any other big adders? i am under the impression that intake and ypipe are the meat of performance modding except for like 00vi engine swap Nitrous or forced induction right?
I don't really plan on anything like idk im a crossroads with my cars dont know what i want at the moment. Unorthodox racing pullies worth anything? I can't see them putting on maybe what 1.5 hp

I heard of JWT cams are they anygood?

and with the y-pipe would the tip matter? I can put some bomz rice pipe for free from a hook up. Greddy is nice but pricey. I rock stock atm.

The cams are more useful for the powerband shift than peak gains. You should gain a decent amount, but you'll make power higher.

If your looking for HP get a 00vi or mevi. They are the best n/a mod for our cars.

Ive been giving it some thought, and I think i can get a better time.
I literally staged and just kept brake and only hit the gas when i left.
I didnt think to preload the suspension or idling the car up for launches, didnt think it would help.
So new times in a week.
