    And wear no clothes and no shoes. That will save like 2 lbs.

    Give us the details of your mods, so we can help you.

    this is a sock ubend: http://www.zzperformance.com/products_img/504_2.jpg

    And this is what will replace it: http://www.hoganperformance.com/ubd1.jpg

    It just gives it better flow and helps out the car.

    I did my ubend and replaced my res with a glass pack for about 30 bucks. I did the work myself though.

    ^^More than what you got

    Lower tire pressure a bit...maybe high 20's in the psi...since your stock and you still have your TB screen...take out your headlight...and if you want to squeeze as much as you can out of it...take off the catback and remove tha air filyter...but JUST AT THE TRACK ONLY...running without an air filter isn't a good idea more more than a pass or so IMO. I'd say if the air is cool enough and not humid MAYBE crack into the 15's...but it'll be close. Do as the others said...get rid of the U-Bend...it is horrible...and PLEASE READ MY SAFELY MODDING THREAD. General tech section.

    i'm loving the new sig blue lol.

    also, skip the waterbox and don't burnout to warm up your tires. play around with how you launch, like different pre-loads on the transmission (warning: stock trans are weak, be very careful with your DD) or not at all.

    Stalling it to 2K is alright...anything past that I think your putting a good amount of strain on that GT trans...and it doesn't have a HD Diff anyways...

    that's usually about where i keep it when i'm dicking around on backroads. last time i felt like a got a better launch without stalling though, it was weird. i lined up with my friend once and stalled around 2k, best launch of my life. i actually got out of the throttle because it didn't look like he moved. pulled like 5 cars. even if it was a 3.1L beretta lol
