You put your factory H back on, right ?? we could do comparisons between yours and mine. Both catted, one H one X and Stingers.
Or Leo has the factory H I can't remember.

My recollection is you, Leo, Luis and I have the stingers. I'm the odd-ball with the X.

We could get together next weekend maybe

The hole between the two pipes in the FRPP didn't seem that large certainly not as big as the whole pipe itself, perhaps 1/2 the I.D. I'd have to see a Bassani version, perhaps its better less restrictive and worth double the price

Taken with my new Canon SD1200IS, xmas gift to replace the old-n-moldy SD400. Couldn't get the times, the darkness and small lens wouldn't resolve the image well enough.
I think I'm learning this iMovie thing.....

Nice job on the video Brian! I'm glad you were up and able to make it there.

Second launch far better than the first Luis.

Practice makes perfect.

You guys have fun and be safe in Lost Wages.

Saw this on Yahoo news... of course if it's based on our wealth, no worries here.

ST. GALLEN, Switzerland – A Swiss court has slapped a wealthy speeder with a chalet-sized fine — a full $290,000.
Judges at the cantonal court in St. Gallen, in eastern Switzerland, based the record-breaking fine on the speeder's estimated wealth of over $20 million.
A statement on the court's Web site says the driver — a repeat offender — drove up to 35 miles an hour (57 kilometers an hour) faster than the 50-mile-an-hour (80-kilometer-an-hour) limit.
Court clerk Heidi Baumann-Becker said Thursday the unidentified driver can appeal the decision, handed down in November, to the Swiss supreme court.
The Blick daily newspaper in Zurich reported the fine was more than twice the previous Swiss record of about $107,000.

Glad you made it down Leo was a little old sissy

Well, no new best because I'm RUSTY. I had the launch down by the end of the night but my shifts are very slow. Running slicks is a whole different thing with all the bouncing up top but its not too bad.

My runs in order: 9.1; 8.5; 8.4; 8.3 all of them in the mid 84mph. This is the fastest I've ever gone - I'm always in the mid 82's. I think one more run could have squeezed out my 8.2... I know its there once I get my shifting down. I'm feeling pretty good considering there was a CS running 8.1's with all the mods I have plus long tube headers, pulleys, and 4.10's.

Nice run #2, looks like you beat that guy!


See, spending more amounts of $$$ on mods is all trivial for just a tenth of a second.

Nope, still running the Pypes O/R-H. But, I'm now thinking of going catted again so I (or Chris) don't have to deal with the po-po about it.

That and I haven't bought any mods lately.

Those would work?

They look too deep to clear over the caliper of the GT500 brakes.

thinking the same thing. Look cool, don't think they'll clear the brakes. Unless these are only the rear and the fronts have a different offset.
