Sorry guy, I need cats so my truck will pass emmisions tests. Well, I might be able to make it work, if that resonator really helps and I can somehow run cats. Honestly I just want to run high 12s or low 13s at least, I just figuered the best way would be some heads and be done with it, but if LTs, e-fans, underdrive pullies, a 160 termostat, and a 3000 stall will get me there, then that works too.

BlueCajin ran 12.50s with lts, 3K stall, CAI, gears, efans, Nelson tune and a 220 camI think that speaks for itself. You can get some custom pipes made to retain teh cats.

bigger isn't always better unless you have the supporting bolt-ons.
all the parts have to be matched to make a good, reliable combo.
