NOT knocking your car or the exhaust, but the sound in that vid is greatly exacerbated by not only the fact that it's in a cinder block structure with a concrete floor, but also that the cars exhaust looks to be 1-2ft from the wall.
Just saying...
I've had my car about a month and although the manual says you "can" run 87, but recommends 91 or higher, I've been running Top Tier 93 since I got it. And I DD mine.
I'm lucky to have plenty of access to good 93 where I live but I understand this is not the case everywhere.
So, who else has...
The most interesting thing about this thread is that it was originally posted in September of last year and nobody bothered to reply until this past week lol.
OP your MPH is indicative of a lowER 12 in a perfect world. Back in the day I had a '01 Trans Am M6 that was mostly stock that went 12.7...
If I had to guess it would be the hood restriction that is the reason no aftermarket braces are offered.
Again I think your modified one looks great.
I'll be interested to see if more experienced folks chime in.
My car is in my sig, all stock except the x-pipe.
A couple of mornings a week on the way to work I'll hit it on the entrance ramp to the interstate.
I'm not sure what gear it is but I guess it's the last one that would be used in a 1/4 mile pass. Happens around 110.
Anyways, a couple of...
I appreciate all the replies.
It's not something I'm doing I was just trying to understand how it worked.
Between the responses here and some more digging I now do.
I think this guy explains it well.
So I discovered this phenomenon last night while perusing YouTube.
How exactly does this work and is it harmful to the engine in any way?
I don't really understand how a tune can do this. The factory lift and duration is what it is.
Yes I can. Sometimes days. And I drive 45 miles from my place out in the sticks into Richmond.
When I do see them it's mostly EB or V6's. Rare to see a GT.
I did see a S550 Mach1 at Home Depot yesterday.
Guy down the road from my house has a S550 GT and a Foxbody hatch 5.0.
It's mostly love...
Just got my S550 a couple of weeks ago. It's a DD and my hour long drive to work is in the I95 corridor. Didn't feel like dealing with a stick in all the traffic after being on my feet all day doing manual labor.
Had it been strictly a weekend cruiser I would've definitely got a stick.
Didn't know where else to post this. The regional sub forums are virtually dead and I didn't want to clog up the General S550 section.
Anyone in VA meet up anywhere?
I know where all the C&C meet ups are in central VA. Does anyone attend?
Looking to meet some members and check out their cars...
