[@guthrie_1]

@@forgot2wipe Cold air intake manufacturers typically dyno test their products with the hood open, thus sucking in cold air from outside the engine bay rather than warm air from inside the engine bay. This is not an issue if you are on the highway, but for a lot of guys sitting in traffic, running light to light, or sitting in the staging lanes at the track, their IAT’s go through the roof, and your cold air intake quickly turns into a hot air intake. The ECU sees 140° intake temps, pulls timing, and you lose power. That’s what he is referring to.

[@johnf517]

Justin... really appreciate this video... honesty and integrity all the way... the upgrades are necessary and the journey is always what matters...

[@americanmuscle]

Thanks John! Obviously I'm bummed I missed hitting my goal but the reality is without a transbrake or converter to get this thing to leave harder and some weight reduction it probably isn't going to happen.

[@GKWunder]

Getting an 11.3 in not the best DA with a few bolt ons and suspension work is great! These 10 speeds are amazing! Great to see that the high flow cats aren’t choking the exhaust flow like many people say.

[@Cuhyote]

It is lol

[@guthrie_1]

I bet you if he deleted the cats he’d pick up another 2 or 3 tenths in the quarter. I had regular kooks high flow cats, and after ditching them I picked up substantial power. Granted that’s with boost, but even NA I bet he would pick up 15 to 20 HP.

[@LTJACKASS858]

It might not be as fast as you wanted but it is consistent. I spoke to soon. 3 tenths quicker in a couple runs is a good day. You can see the light at the end of the tens tunnel.

Great job Justin. Is it possible to have Lund unlock the trans brake ala Stangmode? Now that you have the DSS axles and supporting suspension the car is begging for some high RPM launches! Keep up the great work brother! Cheers

[@americanmuscle]

Lund does not support the HP Tuners Digital transbrake like other tuners. (They have their reasons and are WAY smarter than I am so I take them at their word...lol). That being said there are other methods that I'm currently entertaining prior to getting the car back out. Thanks for watching man! -Justin

[@brandonstone6962]

I would say to add a trans brake and a 2 step and I am pretty sure you'll drop that ET down a bit without having to add a bunch more power

[@Idiotsincarshere]

Another video recommended the Steeda stop the hop kit. Thoughts?

[@1sloE92]

I seen one run 11.3 with a intake and e85 tuned by alternative auto in Michigan oh and he was on stock suspension literally just e85 intake and drag pack full weight. At 900 DA

[@bryce.5oh]

My only questions is I see where you say minimal change in suspension at this power , would you recommend just getting the vertical links for wheel hop and then go more power and add the rest down the road or what suspension would you recommend suspension wise for around 500 horse I want my 60 ft time down without spending 6k haha

[@mavricxx]

Justin I think a blower is in order brother, great build loving it, keep it coming. I'd be interested in seeing the new VMP Odin to see how it does on 93.

Appreciate the honesty! That's racing! P.S. hope you have better luck with DSS than myself and other guys... I've shredded the carbon driveshaft at NA power at the track (just like you guys did lol) and so many people break DSS "high hp" axles at low power.
