Great runs Cayman!!! Now all you need is that perfect run under perfect conditions to bump into the 11s. Interesting that you we about a tenth of a second faster than your best run last season, but your trap speed was a little slower.

Very nice indeed! Its cooler here but still in the 70's I'm hoping to hit the 60's soon. I might have to look into getting a set of 18's for the rear to run a nice DR. I think that will be a better alternative than running DR's on my OEM wheels.

Curious on the stock intake pipe decision??? Think that might have a slight affect on your overall numbers???

Thanks again Joe!
As for the stock intake pipe decision it happened like this. A few weeks when I was loosening your intake pipe to check on the stock air filter I noticed that I had over tightened at some point the one clamp that goes on the sleeve closest to the MAF. Just past the MAF sensor about an inch away that leads off the factory airbox it was crushed in the shape of this "< " which freaked me out. I spent about an hour trying to reshape the plastic tube to get it pushed back out as round as possible again, so it was then that I decided I was going to put the stock intake back on because it doesn't put pressure on the pipe where I had over tightened. With the stock tube back on it's also easier to get to the air filter and with the few potential hp loss at peak rpms I am certain it hasn't caused any noticeable difference in my times.
I know stupid mistake, but it is what it is and I'm fine with the car as it is now.

I would be interested to take it off your hands if indeed that was what you were thinking of doing! PM me if you are.

No worries.. It happens!!
If you decide to put it back on, just Flip the clamps tightening location to the other side.. And of course just tighten till snug..
