I didn't use launch control so I had traction control and stabilitrak on...I've used/played around with launch control but haven't tried it yet with a 0-60 run. In theory it's supposed to provide the best start...as the weather warms up it's getting much easier to get a better launch, it was in the upper 50's when I last timed a run to 60. When it was in the 40's best I could do was 4.67 and when it was colder the best run I had was 4.75...all with traction control and stabilitrak on but still a lot of wheelspin at the start...

well Ive notice that full traction and stabilitrack still always some wheel spin but if u get too much it will cut power..

My last test was really cold I got consisted 3.9's. Now that it's 80* outside, I'm getting consistent 4.7's.

Ha! I'll be listening to 148 Blue Collar Radio on the way to the track tomorrow.
We have rain headed our way but is supposed to hold off until late afternoon.

Yes she is good. The Injen was sucking some mighty cold/dry air this morning. I also removed the hydroshield, that was a pain to get off with just reaching up there to get at it.

Temps look to be in the 40's tomorrow at the track.

I did a 0-60 for the first time with the hydroshield ON... actually got my best run yet! (haven't looked at the DA but thinking it's close to previous run)



So, I'm thinking I'm just going to leave the hydroshield on...

Nice!! I might have to get me one of those Dashawk's someday.

I took the sock off for the track after reading a review on Autoanything. Right or wrong I'll take any edge.

"The Injen Hydro Shield is great for wet climates or places where water could get into the engine. It repels water perfectly however this does come at a cost. With the Hydro Shield on the intake it does decrease some of the top end power. It isn't enough to make a big difference but there is a difference. Just weigh the options though. Lose a little power and have a dry engine or have a little more power and risk engine damage."

4.6 seconds in Sport mode with T/C and S/T off. I have an L99 with Corsa catback and Halltech Yellow Jacket CAI. And that time isn't the best it can do because the wheels spun for about 2 1/2 seconds.
