I don't care how fast you shift your tranny after a 2.55!!!!! 60' time, you're not going to make up .6 of a second! Mark 2000 Black CSVT 3.0L Hybrid - 206fwhp & 195fwtq

That's what I've gathered from his mod list. The part I don't get is where he says that cutting the factor airbox is better than a heatshield and an open filter. The MAF screen isn't going to net an HP, 18" wheels(more than likely heavier than the stock 16"s and tires) are going to slow him down. And with a 2.55 60' time, he'd be hard pressed to break 16's! By the way, what was your mph? Mark 2000 Black CSVT 3.0L Hybrid - 206fwhp & 195fwtq

But it seems to me with stock manifolds and exhaust, a new y won't do anything. BTW, I've gotten a 15 flat with a 2.5 60ft before.........in the 6! I'm sure different gearing and power had something to with that though.

I've got a basically stock (hp wise) SVT and i'll be happy if its under 16 at all. Granted shes got 130,000mi.
