Default Whats your guesstimate?

There was a similar truck as mine with 20's that ran a 15.8 bone stock, now now lets say I ran at the same track he did, what do you think my e.t. would be with my mods?
(Im sure I'll get a shittier e.t. because of how humid and hot it is in Houston)

- ASM Long tubes
- No cats
- Magnaflow catback
- MTI LS1EDIT tune
- K&N FIPK (havent bought it yet)

Don't kid yourself. Houston often has DA measurments in the -3000 range just not durring summer

As far as most Californians feel Texas must have magic HP pixie dust in the air because EVERYTHING is faster in Texas. Take 2 stock cars and run one in Cali or any other state and 1 in Texas and the one in Texas will be faster. It's true Hahaha

I'm beging to think that as well. But I think you can compare two forced induction vehicles. FI vehicles don't seem to be as affected by DA's and such. Probably due to boost control mechanisms.

Anywho, if that cat is running 15.8's bone stock, I say you're good for low 15's, maybe 15.0's

-3000 DA is like a free SC! Everybody move to Texas....Free Superchargers!!! J/K......maybe.

thats what I was thinking, anything higher than a 15.4 and I'd be very disappointed.

You have pretty much the same drive train as the SS right? An SS with the same mods should hit 14.7-14.9 on a good day.

When MTI tuned your truck could you actually feel the difference? It's time for a professional to tune mine but I don't want to blow $400 for nothing.

Could I feel the difference? Heck ya! Ever since the tune it actually feels like I have a 6.0 inside of it and it pulls hard as hell. The shifts are awesome, I couldnt be happier with my investment of getting a pro tune done.
