I agree, it is a little confusing. If you ride in the car, it defintely feels faster. But at the track, since the low-end was sacrificed, the times dropped. The larger tires size also has something to do with it.

The good news is that I was reaching 89mph. That's a +5mph bump.

It's a trade-off. Once the engine gets above 4Krpm, you can really feel it opening up. The power comes on fast (almost like a turbo would), and runs right up to redline.

I can tell you this, the car is much more fun to drive now, after all these mods. It's become a 'momentum car'. That is, once you get the speed up, and maintain it, the smile never leaves your face.

i understand. after adding a intake and some big tires, i was cuttin about the same ET as i did when i was stock. kinda dissappointing. thats why i am debating on running a 2.25'' catback to help out with the low end.

glad you like your car! thats all that reallly matters.

I'll be taking another trip back to the track after I install the Jet performance module.
