Here's a thread that I see on a lot of car forums that is pretty fun to look through.

So, what did you do today? It can be anything from a fresh wash to ordering new parts!

:thumbsup:

Lol I set off a car alarm starting it up tonight. I had backed up into a space and there was an older Chevy pick up behind me.

First time that happened.

Installed these 5” cannons from Carven. I kinda like it and I kinda don’t at the moment. And from the factory the left tip was more flush. Same with the new tips. The right side sticks out just a tad more which I don’t like. Hoping an exhaust shop could do something as I don’t see anything I could adjust to bring it in a couple mm. Have the black lugs, just need to install them at some point to get rid of the chrome.

It doesn’t look as bad as you say but I do think if the tips were angled it would look perfect IMO.

Installed the ZL1 splash guards. Very simple job, didn’t have to remove the wheels.
Used extra clips to hold them on just to be safe. I’m not really keen on the look of the clips and also the fact they’ll catch any cleaning cloths or wash mitts when detailing.
Took her out in the snow to test their effectiveness…seemed to divert most of the crud away from the body panels.

Put the bronze 20x10 SRT Wheels and 295 tires from my previous DDSRT onto my 21 RT. Discount Tire charged me $21 to air them up and swap them out.

That looks nice. You don't see that combo very often on autos.

Ok so I just got back from Death Valley. Found a spot to try via a gps altitude app before I went there. Turned out to be prefect. Long straight flat -263 ft below sea level. DA for the runs was -504. Got weather data with a small weather sensor with a barometer. Very accurate. Been comparing it to readings at the Airport not far away for the last few weeks.

So that's the good news. Bad news is I maxed out the fuel input on the mid and high end so I was running around 15 for my AFR! Probably pulling timing like a mofo. When I was at a 2200 DA I was at 16% fuel increase on the high end so I had Jay zero out the tuner levels based on what I had them set at. Still I maxed them out out there. So I'm kicking my self in the head!

My best run had a 2 sec flat 60ft though! That makes me real happy. Also realized my first thoughts about the Dragy not being accurate, in my area of Las Vegas at least, was correct. Dragy was real close to the tuner in times on these runs, a bit off on the mph but that could be my tire size settings. Thought I had it on point.

Keep in mind this is with a very less than ideal AFR...15 is very lean for WOT. lol watching the AFR dial in vids my spark advance at 6300 rpms was 11. Should be around 23 or so at that altitude.

DA 2022ft
Still data logging this was the fifth revision.

Dragy is inaccurate in this city so I don't rely on it. I'll see how it does at the track vs time slip.

Not the same run as video above. Forgot to hit record on this one. Both were pretty close other than reaction time:
