Hoosier 335s for now but I'm tuning the trans on a bench next week and going to a 27" MT 325. Prior I needed the shorter tire for gearing but I cannot believe it cut a 1.44 on that. I'd been stuck in the 1.55s for quite a while until this intake and lid spacer were added.

I wouldn't wipe my ass with that article. MT is a crap publication most of the time and the times they posted were ridiculous. I ran a 10.4 at 135 ish bone stock with the car and there have been quite a few drivers showing insane times. I saw the ZR1 blast past the Z06 by 5-6 seconds in a VIR comparison. The car is nothing short of phenomenal and my last C7 was a 427 with nitrous running mid 9s at 146. So, this thing hot on it's heals in "somewhat" stock form with some bolt ons and tricks is a great feat! I will just never understand why all of these rag mags try to get attention by beating up on the American cars and blowing the Kraut wagons non-stop LOL. It's as bad as watching the liberal media...
