Chris: Cat back Tectonics Exhaust, Stock Chip, K&N Drop in, 17X8 OZ Monte
Carlos w/215/40/17 Yoks AVSi, no rear seats, Momo Kevlar Race seats...

Ross: Cat back ND Borla, Neuspeed Chip, K&N Drop in, Stock rims
w/205/50/15 Pirelli p-zeros, Schrick 268 cams, Schrick VG Manifold, no
rear seats/carpet...

As you can see the times are VERY close considering the difference in
Mods.  We were both surprised at this.  During each race I would be ahead
until the end of second gear.  When I shifted into third there was a
dead-spot where the car would hesitate for a split second, Chris would
shoot right next to me, and then I would regain power.  We figured this
was something to do with the valve on the shhrick not opening at the
optimum time.  Anyone runningthe VG have this problem and know of a fix?  


It sure was fun!
